Augmented Reality (“AR”), along with Virtual Reality (“VR”), is rapidly growing in prominence and will be transformative to the way we live, work, learn and play. Both AR and VR will undoubtedly bring a whole set of novel IP issues for individuals, companies, IP practitioners and the courts. Like any new technological area, such as cyber law for the nascent internet technology in the early 1990s, many legal issues need to be addressed and many more are yet to be discovered as this area evolves.

It might seem obvious, but not all citations are created equal. You can cite a paper as background, you can cite a paper because you followed the same protocol, or you can cite a paper because you disagree with it. Obviously, there are many reasons to cite a paper (CiTO lists dozens here ). So why do we treat citations as if they are all the same?

Sycamore, the court held that the advertiser’s use of the word “local” in promoting its bread was not actionable under the Lanham Act, even though both a consumer survey and a jury of consumers had found the term to be misleading.
