The Trademark and Unfair Competition Scholarship Roundtable
co-hosted by Harvard, NYU, and the University of Pennsylvania will take
place this year at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, PA.
The Roundtable is designed to be a forum for the discussion of current
trademark, false advertising, right of publicity, and related unfair
competition and IP scholarship, covering a range of methodologies,
topics, and perspectives. Five to six papers will be chosen for
discussion over the course of the Roundtable, with each paper allocated
an entire hour for discussion and assigned a commentator.   

The
Roundtable will be held on Friday, October 10, 2025. If there is a
critical mass of papers, we may also extend the Roundtable through
Saturday morning, October 11th. Participation at the Roundtable will be
limited and invitation-only. We expect all participants to have read the
papers in advance. The Roundtable will cover the travel and lodging
expenses for invited authors.  We invite submissions from scholars
working on any aspect of trademark, false advertising, marketing, right
of publicity, unfair competition, or related areas of the law. Priority
will be given to those who can attend the entire event (including
Saturday) and a dinner the night of Friday, October 10th. Submissions
must be of full drafts in Microsoft word or PDF format. The deadline for
submission is May 27th.

To submit a draft paper, please fill out the form here: https://cvent.me/RXxbZ0 and upload an anonymized
version of your draft.  Please note that the maximum file size that may
be uploaded is 10MB. Appendices or other supporting material or larger
files can be emailed separately to ctic@law.upenn.edu; please do not submit a CV or cover letter.
