Disney criticized for TM of Swahilii phrase "Hakuna Matata" or "no worries." Trademark attorneys may not see the problem, comparing it to "Yahoo" or "Merry Christmas," but the cultural issue is more complicated. Yes, legal - but is it #respectful_IP? See nyti.ms/2Q2x1K5

@CraigCarys this makes me think of your IP and #gender project. I love the use of #IP to promote #humandevelopment as part of #IPsocialjustice. But you make some really thoughtful criticisms in your project. What do the numbers really tell us? #WIPO.

@CJSprigman @Ire_Calboli @DanielGervaisIP Not saying wine GIs are ideal. Just its “authenticity” not offense. France - yes, but also many developing countries for non-wine GIs. @OkyereEwurabena has written about Ghanaian Kente and Tesh Dagne about Ethiopian coffee. U.S also has quite a few GIs now.

@CJSprigman Interesting. I don’t think about offense. It’s about authenticity/dilution style protection. Even if they seem stupid, many countries are finding value in GIs. And some see all IP as stupid. I think @Ire_Calboli @DanielGervaisIP and others have useful detailed scholarship on GIs.

Italian pasta as cultural heritage. Interesting “old world/new world” clash.

Thrilled to join the esteemed faculty at the University of Houston Law Center. What has made the transition even more exciting is the annual Intellectual Property & Information Law Institute conference in the beautiful city of Santa Fe (no filters needed). law.uh.edu/ipil/symposium…

@Morning_Joe @JoeNBC Thanks for your courage in speaking out about the power of the media and the destructive and divisive force that is FEAR. Fear provoking “Infotainment”is dangerous. We need more conservative public figures to speak out about like you just did.

Cuz a bunch of kids in fringe chanting “scalp ‘em Indians, scalp ‘em” is honor, right? And any Natives who attend @pngisd should prolly just accept their classmates dehumanizing them cuz “tradition”, right? Shame on @DisneyParks hosting this. Nostalgic racism is RACISM.
