Sriplaw - Intellectual Property Specialists

In honor of Juneteenth, the SRipLaw team joins the nation in celebrating freedom, resilience, and equality for all. 🕊️✨

Intellectual property thrives when there is equal opportunity for every voice, creator, and innovator to protect their legacy. Today, we reflect on the history that shapes our present and continue our commitment to justice and protection for all. ⚖️✊🏾

🛑 Firm Notice: In observance of the federal holiday, our offices will be closed today, June 19th.

🛑 Today the World Cup begins, but is your marketing strategy legally safe?

Did you know that phrases like "World Cup," "FIFA," and even "[Host City] 2026" are strictly protected trademarks? Unless you paid as an official partner, using these terms or official assets to promote a corporate viewing party, a social media post, or a product discount could trigger a swift cease-and-desist letter or an immediate digital takedown.

To protect its multi-billion-dollar event, FIFA aggressively enforces its intellectual property to prevent unauthorized association. Non-sponsoring businesses face severe penalties, as even utilizing official event hashtags can trigger immediate copyright and trademark strikes on social platforms.

📋 Navigating FIFA's Intellectual Property (IP): What is Strictly Prohibited?

If you are a non-sponsor, using any of the following properties for commercial promotion is unauthorized, closely monitored, and heavily penalized:

❌ Logos and Art: The official emblem, slogans, host city logos, posters, and the tournament mascot.
❌ Wordmarks: Terms like "FIFA," "World Cup," "World Cup 2026," and "FIFA World Cup".
❌ Social Media Warnings: Using official hashtags alongside a business or brand account, which can result in month-long suspensions or permanently banned profiles on Meta (Facebook/Instagram).
❌ Merchandise: Producing unlicensed apparel, souvenirs, or memorabilia.
❌ Broadcast & Watch Parties: Showing the matches publicly using residential broadcast subscriptions, or branding a watch party to look like an official, sponsored event.

At SRipLaw, we analyze how the world's biggest tournaments protect their brand identity like an iron shield. Keep your business on the safe side of fair use this month! ⚽⚖️

🎭 Fun fact: The Tony Awards statuette is protected. From the iconic medallion design to the name “Tony Awards,” the branding is backed by trademark law.

And that is just the beginning...

From scripts and scores to choreography, costumes, and even a show’s name, every production is built on layers of intellectual property

SRipLaw - Proud Sponsors of MiCannes! 🌐🎧🎬

Why does a top IP law firm sponsor an international music business event? Because we go wherever creativity needs protection! 🔒💡

By backing these events, we ensure our firm stays at the absolute forefront of digital copyright shifts, sync licensing battles, and the protection of creative legacies.

"The platform made the music available to me..." 🎶 Does that excuse copyright infringement? 🛑

Our Managing Partner, Joel Rothman , took the stage at .cannes for the panel "When Content Becomes Advertising: Music Rights in Social Media"! Alongside incredible industry experts:

Joel dove deep into a massive issue: how commercial brands and agencies are illegally using unlicensed music in their social media campaigns, often mistaking platform availability for actual legal permission.

From commercial vs. personal use to brand exposure and platform rules, Joel shared critical insights on how rights holders can protect their assets in the digital age.

Happy Birthday to our NYC Partner, Joseph Dunne! 🎂🏙️

From teaching science and math to defending complex patents before the PTAB, Joe has the "perfect chemistry" for Intellectual Property law. 🧪⚖️

Since joining us in 2019 to open our New York City office, Joe has been a pillar of innovation and strategic defense. His journey from the R&D lab to becoming a Registered Patent Attorney is a testament to his dedication to protecting the ideas that shape our world.

When he’s not winning IPR proceedings, you can find him in Brooklyn with his family, likely bringing that same teacher’s heart and scientist’s precision to everything he does.

Join us in wishing Joe a fantastic year ahead! 🎈🏛️
