In this episode of The Briefing, Scott Hervey and Richard Buckley explore the ongoing trademark dispute between Pepperdine University and Netflix regarding the show's title 'Running Point.' Although Pepperdine had initially failed to block the series' release based on the Rogers test, the university is revisiting the issue following a significant ruling in the Jack Daniel's case. They argue that this new precedent justifies a reevaluation of their trademark rights concerning the use of 'Waves' in Netflix's programming.
In a recent legal maneuver, Pepperdine University contends that the outcome of the Jack Daniel’s Supreme Court case gives them a new path to challenge Netflix’s use of ‘Waves’.
The Rogers test previously shielded Netflix, allowing them to use ‘Waves’ in the title of ‘Running Point’; however, Pepperdine argues that recent developments merit a reevaluation.
