Neiman Marcus - a podcast by Kasia Zebrowska-Trauben MBA., Esq.

Are we witnessing the demise of department stores? I begin this episode with some background information on department stores, then discuss general bankruptcy law and a recent timeline of various major retailer bankruptcies. I focus my discussion on Neiman Marcus and a copyright lawsuit filed against them  (Sealaska Heritage Institute Inc v. Neiman Marcus Group LTD, LLC et al).  I briefly define and discuss a plant patent that is owned by Neiman Marcus , the Rose Plant Patent. I then conclude the episode by discussing what the future may look like for retailers after this covid-19 pandemic.
