Supreme Court Declines to Review Cases on Trademark Abandonment, Copyrights, and Sentencing Guidelines

The U.S. Supreme Court has opted not to review several petitions that could have provided clarity on key legal issues. Among the cases the Court declined to hear was a trademark dispute involving T-Mobile concerning the criteria used to determine when unregistered trademarks are considered abandoned. Another case left without Supreme Court review is a copyright dispute related to an art installation, which provocatively included fruit taped to walls. Lastly, the Court chose not to consider a case related to the sentencing guidelines used in a trade secrets theft involving General Electric.
