With USPTO fees climbing, remedies tightening, and new technologies testing old doctrines, 2025 brings plenty of change to trademark practice. Yet in many ways, the core rules remain familiar: courts are still applying established frameworks, and the same strategic considerations continue to drive brand protection. In this webinar, Marc Misthal from Offit Kurman will walk through the most important cases and changes, showing where trademark law is shifting—and where it’s holding steady. In this session, he’ll cover:
* What the USPTO’s recent fee changes mean for filing and renewal strategies
* How courts are narrowing remedies, as illustrated in the Dewberry case
* Where existing legal frameworks are being applied to new technologies
* What courts are saying about Schedule A cases and the impact on enforcement strategies
