Intricacies of Entertainment Law With Anthony Verna

Here’s a lightly-edited transcript of the video blog:  Hi, I’m Anthony Verna, managing partner, Verna Law, back for another video blog: We have some thoughts on trademark damages. If you are going into federal court and you are going to be a plaintiff, here are a couple of thoughts for you.   Certainly, talking to our clients about getting money – and you’re going to get money, you’re going to get the lost profits and you’re going to be entitled to triple those damages. You have to temper yourself a little bit about it because first off, number one, most cases don’t go to trial. Most cases settle. So obviously on some kind of settlement, there’s going to be a discount on the damages, but you’re going to take the discount damages. Why? Well, you know, it’s going to be less time in litigation and less time with legal fees. So that discount is generally taken in order to, uh, make the pain go away. Don’t get me wrong, litigation can be painful. So that’s one particular thought there as to what, why damages might be less than a trademark infringement matter than you were probably hoping it is the potential plaintiff. Also, many products have multiple trademarks. I’m going to pull this thing right here. It was way back to the old days of podcasting, the Blue Snowball. There it is the snowball, Blue and Snowball: two trademarks on one product. If one of those products were one of those trademarks, excuse me – were to be infringing? What I would say is, is there’s a house Mark. And then there’s the, the brand Mark. And we do sometimes take into account. Well, how much does one Mark matter from the other? And, and especially in a case like that, you’re going to see again, your particular damages as a plaintiff are going to be discounted because there’s more than one Mark on the product. A lot of products have more than one trademark as I’m sure you could see a lot of the stuff that’s behind me, probably it has more than one trademark, somewhere on the actual product. That’s going to be true here as well. So make sure that you go in with your eyes wide open into any particular type of litigation, because you need to make sure that you think about the kinds of damages that you may be entitled to I’m Anthony Verna, managing partner of Verna Law.

Anthony Verna Video Blog 37 – Thoughts Behind Trademark Damages

James Kwon

Law & Business Podcast: Episode 58 Anthony Verna and James Kwon – Three Items Marketers Need to Know Now

Jim Cushing

In this episode of the "Law &amp; Business" podcast, Jim Cushing and Anthony Verna talk about judges.  In a recent video blog post, Anthony Verna talked about one judge helping to settle one trademark and copyright infringement lawsuit.Sometimes, judges are able (under the rules of procedure of their court) to aid the parties in litigation to settle their lawsuits.  Jim Cushing and Anthony Verna talk about some of the cases both have had in which judges have helped and have hurt in trying to settle cases.  It is a little comparing and contrasting between family law (custody issues) and intellectual property issues and the different kinds of procedure and judges the two lawyers have experienced.Here is a lightly-edited transcript of the podcast episode: Anthony Verna: All right, welcome back to the Law and Business podcast and welcome back, Jim Cushing. How are you doing, sir?   Jim Cushing: How ya doing, Anthony? Thanks for having me back, it’s been a while.   Anthony Verna:  Hey, I know it's been a while, but the podcast is a little intermittent than I would like. So, thank you so much for being back. Recently I had an appearance in federal court in the beautiful city of Binghamton, New York, where they're so used to intellectual property lawsuits. To the point that the magistrate judge was asking me about, about a provision in the Lanham Act that is little used and the look of shock and horror on his face was something I don't think I've ever seen before.   Jim Cushing: It’s never  good when you're teaching the judge the law.  Anthony Verna: That's true. But I think that happens a little more for me than for you, which led to this magistrate saying, okay, this is a trademark and copyright infringement case. It's something that he was fully admitting that he was not used to, but that there two magistrates in the Northern District of New York that have intellectual property expertise and experience and wondering if the parties would want to have one of those magistrates hold a settlement conference. Andin this particular case, my client was all for it because we're dealing with a pro se litigants. So, a litigant who's representing himself. Right. And as I'm sure you're aware a pro se litigant can be a little on the extreme side.   Jim Cushing:  Well, you know, they go into it thinking this is going to be my day in court and I'm going to go all the way and they don't really understand the process or where they've got a weakness.   Anthony Verna:  Exactly. So, I think this was a smart time that, um, that a judge is forcing us into settlement. And, of course, since then, I think the litigant has realized that yes, he's not going to be going all the way and he's not going to be really getting his day in court. And so, he's actually sent me a couple different settlement options since then. So have there been times when a judge has forced you, someone who's in family law into settlements that you think are good and help the case rather than dealing with litigation?   Jim Cushing:   I think that as I said, I'm a family attorney or you said I'm a family attorney and I think family is kind of unique in the legal field because it really, a lot of the times the object of a family case is someone who's not even in court, you know, your son or your daughter or whomever and obviously not in divorce, but in the custody or support context, sure. Is you're dealing with somebody who's not present, who's the object to the case. It's not just money or like, no offense to your practice, but like a copyright. It's like a real human being whose life is going to be affected. And when it comes down to it, we're trying to do what's best for that person and sometimes what's best for that person, it's not necessarily some legal one-upsmanship.    It's just a practical consideration. And you know, when you have a decent judge, they look at this and they see the legal arguments from both sides, but they're also, if they're worth their salt,
