IPWatchdog turns to David Goldberg, an associate at the firm and Co-Chair of the NYIPLA Amicus Brief Committee for his views on the U.S. Supreme Court Decision in Peters v. Nantkwest:

"And David Goldberg, Associate Attorney at Amster, Rothstein & Ebenstein LLP and Co-Chair of the Amicus Briefs Committee for the New York Intellectual Property Law Association (NYIPLA), which submitted amicus briefs in the Shammas, NantKwest, and Booking.com cases on this issue, said that NYIPLA has long “taken the position that the American Rule clearly applies to trademark appeals under 15 U.S.C § 1071(b) and patent appeals under 35 U.S.C. § 145.” Goldberg added that NYIPLA is pleased with the decision and expects the Justices to “make a similar clarification on the trademark side when they consider the Booking.com appeal (no. 18-1309) in their conference of December 13, 2019.”
