TRADEMARK AND UNFAIR COMPETITION LAW
LAW 767, Section 550
James B. Astrachan and Kaitlin D. Corey
University of Baltimore School of Law
Fall 2018
OVERVIEW
This course considers the use of trademarks as a critical intellectual property device designed to prevent consumer confusion over the origin of products and services and the misappropriation of commercial goodwill. In addition to addressing traditional legal questions that arise from acquiring, infringing upon, and losing trademark rights under the Lanham Act and the common law, the course focuses upon special issues raised by the Internet; the free speech implications of trademarks; and issues relating to false advertising and common law unfair competition.
MEETING TIMES
The Trademark and Unfair Competition class meets weekly at the University of Baltimore School of Law in Room 408 on Mondays from 4:45 pm to 7:30 pm, with the exception of holidays or cancellations.

COURSE WEBSITE
This course has a TWEN page that links to this syllabus, announcements, the class assignments, and other class materials. You are responsible for self-enrolling in the TWEN page and for checking it regularly for course information.
GRADES
Your grade in this class will be based primarily on the final examination at the end of the semester. We reserve the right to raise or lower a student’s grade by one half step (e.g., raise the grade from B to B+ or lower the grade from B to B-) based on class participation and preparedness.
ATTENDANCE POLICIES
Class attendance is a primary obligation of each student whose right to continued enrollment in the course and to take the examination is conditioned upon a record of attendance satisfactory to the professor. A student who exceeds the maximum allowed absences (generally 20% of class sessions) as illustrated below may be compelled to withdraw from the course, or may be barred from sitting for the final exam. Students who are forced to withdraw for exceeding the allowed absences may receive a grade of FA (failure due to excessive absence). This policy is consistent with American Bar Association Standards for Law Schools.

It is our practice to supplement this syllabus with material for class discussion, some of which will find its way into the exam. The exam has often been 5-6 essay questions, so if you miss 20 or 25 percent of the exam because the question was discussed in class but was not contained in this syllabus, you will be unhappy. Advanced preparation as well as class participation is expected. Internet or other network access is prohibited during class. If we see you looking down and smiling, we will know it’s not due to something we said. Audio or video recording of classes is permitted, but is the sole responsibility of interested students. Please try to be in your seat when class begins.
CLASS CANCELLATION
If we must cancel a class, notices will be sent to students via email and posted on the classroom door. If there is inclement weather, students should visit the University of Baltimore web site or call the University's Snow Closing Line at (410) 837-4201. If the University is open, students should presume that classes are running on the normal schedule.
ACADEMIC INTEGRITY
Students are obligated to refrain from acts that they know or, under the circumstances, have reason to know will impair the academic integrity of the University and/or School of Law. Violations of academic integrity include, but are not limited to: cheating, plagiarism, misuse of materials, inappropriate communication about exams, use of unauthorized materials and technology, misrepresentation of any academic matter, including attendance, and impeding the Honor Code process. The School of Law Honor Code and information about the process is available at http://law.ubalt.edu/academics/policiesandprocedures/honor_code/.
TITLE IX SEXUAL MISCONDUCT AND NONDISCRIMINATION POLICY
The University of Baltimore’s Sexual Misconduct and Nondiscrimination policy is compliant with Federal laws prohibiting discrimination. Title IX requires that faculty, student employees and staff members report to the university any known, learned or rumored incidents of sex discrimination, including sexual harassment, sexual misconduct, stalking on the basis of sex, dating/intimate partner violence or sexual exploitation and/or related experiences or incidents. Policies and procedures related to Title IX and UB’s nondiscrimination policies can be found at: http://www.ubalt.edu/titleix.
