Finally, describing Emily Campbell, Chambers said, “[Emily] lately headed the team advising…on a variety of trademark-related matters and the acquisition of domain names owned by third parties.

Dunlap Codding Shareholder Emily Campbell Quoted in Law.Com
Posted Aug 16, 2016 at 10:35 am See MoreDunlap Codding Shareholder Emily Campbell was quoted in a Law.com article by Megan Spicer, published on July 29, 2016. The article, “Copyright Counsel Eager for Clarity on Fair Use for Viral Videos,” covered the fair use of viral videos, such as the cell phone video from the scene of the recent shooting in Dallas which claimed the lives of five police officers.
As Spicer noted, there are no cases dealing with the monetization of viral videos that depict serious news. Emily Campbell, who heads the trademark and copyright group at Dunlap Codding asked, “Will someone challenge these groups who are monetizing viral videos?” She said that companies such as ViralHog [one of the startup companies that acquire video and capitalize on its popularity] are taking advantage of the uncertainty.
Emily Campbell Quoted in Inside Counsel
Posted Aug 16, 2016 at 10:32 am See MoreDunlap Codding Shareholder Emily Campbell was quoted in Inside Counsel in an article by Amanda Ciccatelli published on July 26, 2016. The article, “Melania Trump vs. Michelle Obama: Does copyright law cover public speeches,” commented on the reports that “Melania Trump’s speech was very similar to the speech previously given by Michelle Obama at the Democratic National Convention in 2008.”
Ciccatelli wrote, ” Does copyright law actually protect public speeches? The answer according to Campbell is yes. Copyright law serves to protect various types of creative works, including speeches.”
“The nuance here, though, is that copyrights protect works only when they are ‘fixed in a tangible medium,” [Campbell] explained. “So what’s really protected by copyright is not the act of giving the speech but the video recording, sound recording, or antecedent written text of the speech.”
Campbell also said, “Ultimately, the key questions to be answered are whether Melania Trump used enough of the speech to constitute infringement.” She concluded by saying, “Be inspired by the works of others, but don’t copy them. Don’t use the work of another—in whole or in part—without obtaining permission first.”
