AI at the Intersection of IP and Personal Branding:
Entering 2026, generative AI remains the most significant area of IP and Branding Law, with a particular emphasis on personal branding. As set forth for the first time in Branding Law: Cases and Materials, there was a long-standing dichotomy between intellectual property law for the enforcement of corporate branding interests and the economic and dignitary interest torts of defamation and right of publicity for personal branding.1 However, with the growing interest in federal trademark registration by celebrities, our original delineation has become less clearly defined over the past several years. And as we’ll soon see below, generative AI is now sparking a further evolution, or even a revolution, in personal brand protection.

Was Tarkov’s Full Release Rushed?
(Intro) Tarkov has existed for a long time. Over eight years' worth of work, adding content to the game with a final dash towards the end to make it what BSG has called, feature complete. And while most of us are glad we got to see the game get to the end, it also had me thinking about the circumstances that led to this point. We know BSG wanted to add more; be ambitious and really try to put Tarkov in a place where it can feel like a forever game. But even after all this time, does Tarkov feel like a rushed game, at least the launch of 1.0? I know it’s a crazy question to even ask considering how long it’s been. But think about it for a moment; at the very least the final stretch felt like it was coming together rather quickly. Obviously, they can’t keep working on the game forever; they don’t have infinite money and even if they did, they most likely want to work on something different. But plans must’ve changed internally multiple times over even just the last year for it to have played out the way it ultimately did. What drove them to release 1.0 when they did? How has it panned out in general? And can we technically call the release of it, rushed?

Scrambled Eggs and Silence
The Year Was 1967 I was four years old. My world was small but crowded—my parents, my two little sisters barely out of babyhood, and me. We lived high above the street in a middle-class high-rise, fourteen floors up, trying to build a life like everyone else. Both my parents worked, which meant that, like so many families, we relied on a babysitter.
