On the plus side, I'm going to have a great opener to my first trade mark class next year! Loved working with you and Vicki on this piece. Hopefully we can team up again soon!

The real story here is the lost argument to have ‘trade marks’ appear as two words. Appeals to the Constitution, the vibe and even the Act were not enough! Lovely working with @drmarieip.bsky.social and Associate Professor Vicki Huang for this piece: theconversation.com/rayguns-clai...

Raygun’s claim against a parody musical may not stand up: here’s what the law says

Raygun is unlikely to be able to claim intellectual property over her name, her persona and her dance moves.
