Morning Docket: 08.07.15
* Graffiti artist Rime alleges that Katy Perry wore a dress designed by Moschino that ripped off some of his copyrightable work. This dark horse has injected herself into a lot of IP issues this year. Your lawyer fans thank you. [WSJ Law Blog] * The Seventh Circuit is totally sorry about the case that it completely forgot about for the past five years. It seems that the court pleadings were "placed in the wrong stack" on remand from the Supreme Court in 2010. Congratulations, America: This is your justice system. Oopsie! [ABA Journal] * Pennsylvania Attorney General Kathleen Kane has been charged with perjury, conspiracy, obstructing justice, and several other crimes in connection with a grand jury leak. She's the second state AG to be criminally charged this week. Nice job. [USA Today] * Arizona Summit Law filed a motion to dismiss former employee and alumnus Paula Lorona's pro se retaliation and consumer fraud lawsuit with prejudice. The school claims the complaint is pleaded deficiently. Well... you educated her. [National Law Journal] * Rapper Busta Rhymes was charged with second degree assault this week after he allegedly threw a protein drink at a gym employee. His lawyer calls the charge "a bunch of bull." Hmm, we apparently should've listened when he told us he was dangerous. [MTV]
