Let’s start this week with a pair of appellate teams at Haynes and Boone who scored precedential rulings this week on legal issues that are very much of the moment.

Partners Joe Lawlor, Tiffany Cooke, Richard Rochford and associate Michael Lambert got a ruling from the Second Circuit this week in a case they’re handling for wedding dress designer Hayley Paige Gutman, known for her appearances on the reality TV show “Say Yes to the Dress,” brought by her former employer, JLM Couture Inc. The appellate court partially vacated a preliminary injunction forcing Gutman to hand over accounts she created on Instagram and Pinterest while employed at JLM, rejecting the six-factor test that the district court adopted to determine ownership of social media accounts. The Second Circuit remanded the case on the ownership question holding that the accounts should be treated “like any other form of property” and part of the inquiry should include “determining the original owner.”
