Mr. Garrison has experience in trademark, copyright, franchising, antitrust and trade regulation matters and licensing, litigation and transactional issues related thereto. Mr. Garrison successfully argued the copyright case before the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals, which decided two issues of first impression in the Circuit: the test for conceptual separability for designs of useful articles, and the deference to be given by the courts to Copyright Office determinations. Mr. Garrison thereafter co-authored his client's briefs to the Supreme Court of the United States, which on March 22, 2017, affirmed the Sixth Circuit decision and formulated a new test for conceptual separability. The Supreme Court decision has far-reaching implications for the fashion industry and other owners of designs of useful articles.
