The School of Law hosts distinguished speakers on cutting-edge issues of intellectual property and technology law, including judges, academics, lawyers and other policy makers. CLIPT faculty are also frequently invited to participate in similar events taking place outside of the University of Baltimore.
On Sept. 20, 2019, the UBalt School of Law and Womble Bond Dickinson LLP presented
"Slanted Justice: Free Speech and Trademark law at the Supreme Court," an evening
of discussion and acoustic music with Simon Tam, front man of The Slants. The Slants are an Asian-American dance-rock band founded
to challenge racial stereotypes and named to defang a derogatory epithet.
Ironically, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office refused to trademark the band's name, declaring it a disparaging term for people of Asian-American descent. The resulting lawsuit went all the way to the Supreme Court, which Tam and the band won in a unanimous free-speech decision. This year Tam recounted the story in his memoir, Slanted: How an Asian American Troublemaker Took on the Supreme Court.
