The US Supreme Court heard oral arguments in two cases Monday to start off its April session: Iancu v. Brunetti, a free speech and trademark case, and Emulex Corp. v. Varjabedian, a question of faulty disclosures in public investment offers.
In Iancu v. Brunetti, the court will decide whether the Lanham Act's "prohibition on the federal registration of 'immoral' or 'scandalous' marks is facially invalid under the Free Speech Clause of the First Amendment."
