Fashion Group seminar to focus on 'Protecting the Brand'

With charges of counterfeiting, plagiarism, and trademark infringement in the fashion industry currently being decided in the courts, there's no better time for a discussion on legal and branding issues.

• Guillermo Jimenez, Professor, International Trade and Marketing, Fashion Institute of Technology;
• Lisa A. Lori, Partner, Klehr, Harrison, Harvey, Branzburg, LLP; and
• Kirk Widra, Professor, Fashion Marketing, Art Institute of Philadelphia.

Prior to the panel discussion, from 6:00 pm to 7:00 pm, attendees will have the opportunity to network and preview fall 2012 fashion trends. Evening includes cheese and wine. A question and answer session will directly follow the moderated panel discussion. Tickets to the event are $20 for FGI members, $40 for non-members and $10 for students with ID.
