They are recognized as the World's Greatest Superheroes. DC & Marvel believed nobody would dare. Until somebody did, a mysterious masked street artist that goes by the tag: Braingasm-X. Nobody knows his real name. Nobody knows where he lives. Is he a genius, a criminal, a revolutionary, he might be the most dangerous artist of in a generation.

Braingasm-X didn't paint superheroes. He dragged them out of fantasy and into the real world. Into politics. Into censorship. Into power. Into corruption. Into hypocrisy. Into the cultural battles tearing society apart. Billion-dollar corporations want answers...but the zeitgeist controls the question. This Summer Creativity Goes on Trial. Who owns imagination. Who controls culture. WHO IS BRAINGASM-X?

Freebased upon a real lawsuit! NIKE v. KOOL KIY is not a fake classroom hypo about “likelihood of confusion.” It’s a full-contact intellectual property war where art, hype culture, sneakers, street art, branding, litigation strategy, and billion-dollar corporate power collide... in real time. Students inherit a bleeding client: a Brooklyn sneaker artist trapped in a catastrophic federal lawsuit with sneaker behemoth Nike. The client’s current legal team may have already destroyed his future. Now you must decide whether to fight, pivot, negotiate, redesign, leverage culture, weaponize business reality, or save the client from himself. This project forces students to think like actual entertainment and IP lawyers --- not law students memorizing buzzwords. One bad strategy could bury the brand forever. Will your students be the savior...or the shovel?

FreeEVERYBODY WANTS BOOBS...Glassware.
Nova Southeastern University
BASED ON A TRUE DISPUTE (In Florida...of Course.)
In "Everybody Wants Boobs…Glassware" a ridiculous souvenir shot-glass, sold in beach shops up and down the east coast, may become the centerpiece of a million dollar lawsuit...and a courtroom full of "Boobs Glassware" stamped "Exhibit." THIS ACTUALLY HAPPENED. Being a lawyer is a new adventure every day. The legal arguments are stacked, the claims are top-heavy, and everyone is trying to get a grip on the concept of "Useful articles." In this Tale of Two Boob CEOs, a souvenir glassware maker gets slapped with a cease-and-desist letter (From a Boob Lawyer) over his bikini-body shaped “Boob Shot-glass.” From there, the case gets bigger, bouncier, and really starts shaking as legally things get more exposed by the day. Students must lift, separate, and examine every curve of the law: What is expression? What is function? When does a shot-glass stop being a shot-glass? Will this Plaintiff support his argument, or will your students prevent the boob job of the century? A TRUE STORY - BASED UPON A REAL DEMAND TO CEASE & DESIST...and the Boobs who sent it.
