On Friday, October 27, a Banner Witcoff team filed an amicus brief on behalf of the Industrial Designers Society of America (IDSA) over the proper application of obviousness in design patents. The case, LKQ Corp. v. GM Global Technology Operations LLC could have significant implications for those that rely on design patents to protect their product designs.
Attorneys Robert S. Katz, Erik S. Maurer, Sonia M. Okolie and Joseph McCollum prepared the brief with assistance from senior litigation paralegal, Carlos Goldie. Banner Witcoff is a leader in design patent protection and proudly supports industrial designers and their design rights.
