Pat Concannon and John Loughnane, partners in Nutter’s Intellectual Property Department and Corporate and Transactions Department, respectively, were quoted extensively on the oral arguments in Mission Product Holdings, Inc. v. Tempnology, LLC in Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly. In the article, “Long-standing trademark question before Supreme Court,” Pat and John posit that it may prove persuasive that, to the extent amici like the International Trademark Association took a position in the case, it sided with the licensee. Pat pointed out that “leaves us in an awkward position, with trademark usage going on unsupervised.” John added that “filing bankruptcy does not typically allow the debtor to take back property that had been previously conveyed.”
