INTA North America Roundtable

Sterne Kessler’s Shana Olson will host the INTA North America Roundtable, A Journey of a Dupe: Crossing the Line from Dupe to Counterfeit.

The roundtable will explore the evolving line between lawful “dupes” and actionable infringement, examining when imitation goes from permissible to unlawful under intellectual property law. Drawing on real-world cases and practical scenarios, the discussion will unpack key risks across trademark, trade dress, false advertising, design patent, and copyright law. Attendees will gain actionable insights into how brands can protect their IP, and how competitors can innovate without going “too far.”
