I AM MOON MAN® turns entertainment law into a full-scale brand war involving copyrights, trademarks, contracts, talent agency law, nightlife culture, social media empires, merchandising, comic books, anonymous performers, and millions of dollars in disputed intellectual property. The mysterious DJ MOON MAN is selling out shows and festivals world-wide. No one has ever seen his, or her, true face...but if someone did, would it even be the correct face? Inspired by real world entertainment industry dynamics and played in the style of a "Live" client file, I AM MOON MAN forces students to think like real-world entertainment lawyers - balancing legal doctrine, business leverage, human emotion, branding strategy, and litigation risk. Players can't merely identify issues! Players must use their legal and life skills to determine WHAT IS MOON MAN? With so much input from so many individual, WHO IS MOON MAN? Two very different people with different skill sets both claim, "I AM MOON MAN." Is either correct? Are both? Who truly owns the MOON MAN identity and business? Can MOON MAN survive without its true creator? PROJECT: I AM MOON MAN forces players into a game of...what happens when a fictional character becomes more valuable than the person behind, or inside, a story.

Drop your students into the middle of a complete mess! A billion-dollar war between sneaker culture, street art, trademark law, trade dress, and corporate power. Based on a REAL federal lawsuit, students become outside counsel to street artist Kool Kiy, as they are forced to navigate infringement claims, consumer confusion, parody, trade dress, litigation strategy, Kiy's (awful) former law firm, and the dangerous gap between "inspired by" and unlawful copying. This is not abstract IP theory. This is modern brand warfare. Students must advise the client whether to fight Nike, settle, redesign, pivot, license, collaborate — or risk financial annihilation. Along the way, they confront one of the most uncomfortable realities in entertainment and branding law: sometimes the line between "artist" and "infringer" is worth millions of dollars.

Students become outside counsel negotiating between Fleer/Marvel and the world-famous Hildebrandt Brothers as millions of dollars in artwork, licensing rights, publicity, creative control, reproduction rights, deadlines, and collectible value hang in the balance. This is not abstract contract theory. It is entertainment law, intellectual property, and business strategy colliding inside one of the most influential comic collectible projects of the 1990s.

CRAZY CUPS claims it owns the patent rights to silicone drinkware and has begun threatening competitors, retailers, and manufacturers with lawsuits over flexible drinking cups.
