Crowell & Moring, Planned Parenthood Federation of America, ACLU of Missouri, and ACLU Reproductive Freedom Project Achieve Victory in Reproductive Rights Case in Missouri

Washington – February 21, 2025: Missouri health care providers will be able to resume abortion care after a Jackson County Circuit judge temporarily blocked the Targeted Regulation of Abortion Providers (TRAP) last week. The TRAP restriction, Missouri’s abortion facility licensure requirement, had been left in place in a previous ruling and prevented providers, like Planned Parenthood, from resuming care, despite the state’s voters’ enacting an amendment on November 5, 2024, to enshrine a right to reproductive freedom in the Missouri Constitution.

A Win for Brand Owners as Jack Daniel’s Escapes the Doghouse in Supreme Court Ruling

In a decision to be applauded by brand owners throughout the country, the Supreme Court clarified the balance between trademark rights and First Amendment interests in its decision in the Jack Daniel’s case, Jack Daniel’s Props., Inc. v. VIP Prods. LLC, No. 22-148 (June 8, 2023).  Vacating the judgment of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, the Court held that an accused infringer does not receive special First Amendment protection when it has used a trademark to designate the source of its own goods.  Such use is subject to the traditional test for likelihood of confusion, the Court held, not a threshold test derived from the First Amendment such as that contained in Rogers v.
