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.

Based upon the real-life entertainment industry experience of Project author John Taddeo, Esq. during his time at Marvel and Fleer, this negotiation project drops students into the middle of a high-stakes battle over the creation of the legendary Marvel Masterpieces trading card series. 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.

THAT'S EAT-ERTAINMENT transforms a glamorous Boca Raton Rat Pack restaurant into a legal minefield involving Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., publicity rights, trademark law, copyright licensing, music usage, memorabilia, branding, and the economics of nostalgia. Students are hired as entertainment counsel to a booming restaurant chain accused of cashing in on dead celebrity identities without permission. The deeper they dig, the uglier—and more fascinating—the business realities become. This project forces students to confront one of entertainment law's hardest truths: sometimes the entire business model is built on borrowed fame. Behind the velvet ropes, candlelight, and martinis sits a brutal legal question: where does homage end and infringement begin?

A no-escape, high-stakes negotiation where only 10,000 oranges exist, and both sides need them all. In Fruit Fight: Battle of Valencia, students weaponize leverage, deception, empathy, and deal structure under a ruthless "Fill or Kill" clock. One side is curing cancer in children; the other has multi-million-dollars of investor funds comitted - both are telling the truth, and both are lying. There is no mediator. No delay. Just outcome. The lawyers have 30 minutes, to surface every negotiation instinct, and get it done. Ethics? Please. All that matters is strategy, and maybe creativity. This isn't theory. This is a negotiation pressure cooker. Who will win?...or will everybody lose?

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. But does owning a patent mean owning an entire product category? This project forces students into the middle of a modern intellectual-property war involving patents, product design, manufacturing, marketing claims, licensing leverage, competition strategy, and the dangerous gap between legal reality and corporate intimidation. Students must determine whether CRAZY CUPS truly owns groundbreaking technology—or whether the company is using aggressive legal threats to scare an entire industry into submission.

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.
