The following is an edited transcript of my video Will AI Change Trademarks ? Artificial intelligence has been in the news in 2023. And a lot of that is due to the amazing tool ChatGPT, which is a breakthrough in terms of artificial intelligence technology.

by guest blogger Kieran McCarthy There are few, if any, legal domains where hypocrisy is as baked into the ecosystem as it is with web scraping. Some of the biggest companies on earth—including Meta and Microsoft—take aggressive, litigious approaches to prohibiting web scraping on their own properties, while taking liberal approaches to scraping data on other companies’ properties.

I need to start this post by making it clear that I am a supporter of publicly funded broadcasting and the CBC.

Two years ago, Canada’s Federal Court of Appeal upheld the first pirate site-blocking order in the country. The landmark decision opened the door to additional and more advanced blocking requests.

The panel led by Judge Dyk found that when determining the conceptual strength of trademarks, “absent proof of non-use [of registered marks], use could be assumed”, at least where the registered mark was identical to the opposer’s asserted rights.

By Dennis Crouch The nexus requirement serves as a threshold that must be met before secondary indicia will be even considered as relevant to the obviousness inquiry. In its recent Volva Penta decision, the Federal Circuit found that the PTAB had (1) created too high of a burden to prove nexus and (2) been unduly dismissive of the patentee’s evidence of commercial success and copying.
