Description

This week, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments by teleconference, allowing the public to listen in, in real time, for the first time in history. On Monday, the Court heard United States Patent and Trademark Office v. Booking.com — a case about whether Booking.com can trademark its name. Immediately following the argument, host Jeffrey Rosen was joined by three experts who filed briefs on different sides of the case — Corynne McSherry of Electronic Frontier Foundation, Professor Rebecca Tushnet of Harvard Law School, and Margaret Duncan of Loyola University Chicago School of Law — to recap the argument, explain the case, and reflect on a historic moment for the Court. The National Constitution Center partnered with C-SPAN to broadcast this conversation live. 
The National Constitution Center, in collaboration with C-SPAN, recapped all of the arguments heard this past week. You can watch the rest of those recaps on our YouTube channel at YouTube.com/ConstitutionCenter. The Supreme Court will hear additional arguments next Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, starting at 10 a.m. eastern, and Jeff will be back on C-SPAN to recap them with some of the leading experts involved in the cases. So please tune in!
