Haefner Contributes Chapter on Protecting Product Design to

New Intellectual Property Law Book

 

Roseland, NJ, August 6, 2008 – Connell Foley Partner Marc D. Haefner has contributed a chapter on protecting product design through trade dress to Aspatore Books’ recently published Common Issues in IP Law: Leading Lawyers on Resolving Disputes, Evaluating IP Claims, and Achieving Successful Client Outcomes.  Mr. Haefner’s chapter provides useful information on how the “look and feel” of a particular product and its “take to market” packaging are important intellectual property assets that can and should be protected by manufacturers.    

 

Common Issues in IP Law is an authoritative, insider’s perspective on best practices for assessing current trends and issues in intellectual property law.  The authors – expert practitioners from some of the nation’s leading law firms – guide the reader through understanding the various areas of IP law, such as patents, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets.

 

Mr. Haefner represents clients in both complex commercial and intellectual property litigation.  He has also taken numerous appellate cases to successful conclusions. His complex commercial litigation practice specializes in civil cases arising under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO), and he has both successfully prosecuted and defended such cases.  He has also defended numerous cases, including class actions, brought under New Jersey’s Consumer Fraud Act.  Mr. Haefner’s extensive intellectual property experience includes trademark and copyright infringement litigation in federal court.  He has also assisted clients with patent litigation.

 

Marc D. Haefner is a member of the firm’s Business Litigation and Intellectual Property practice groups.  For more information, please contact Mr. Haefner at 973-535-0500 or mhaefner@connellfoley.com.
