Can a racial slur be trademarked? A dress design copyrighted? Two cases before the U.S. Supreme Court will tell us much about the bounds of the First Amendment as it relates to intellectual property.

Tonight at 7 p.m. on the Philadelphia CNN-News affiliate WFMZ-TV and available online now, “The American Law Journal” presents “Trademark, Copyright and Free Speech: The Slants Go to the ‘Supremes’.” Christopher Naughton welcomes Archer Law attorneys John Connell and Ronald Coleman who represented Simon Tam of The Slants and argued by Connell before the Supreme Court. Also joining the panel are intellectual property attorneys Lynn Rzonca of Ballard Spahr and Manny Pokotilow of Caesar Rivise.
