"The Chicago Cubs have made it to the World Series for the first time since 1945 and the franchise is doing everything in its power to completely commercially exploit the opportunity. In September, the Cubs sued known vendors who were selling unlicensed goods. Now, the Cubs are filing actions through the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB) to prevent third parties from registering trademarks that may be likely to be confused with the marks popularized by the baseball team."
Issues and developments related to Intellectual Property (e.g. Copyright, Fair Use, Patents, Trademarks, Trade Secrets) and Open Movements (e.g. Open Access, Open Data, Open Educational Resources (OER)), examined in the "Intellectual Property and Open Movements" and "Ethics of Data, Information, and Emerging Technologies" graduate courses I teach at the University of Pittsburgh School of Computing and Information. -- Kip Currier, PhD, JD
