Simon Tam is an award-winning author, keynote speaker, and First Amendment advocate, best known as the central figure in Matal v. Tam (2017), the unanimous U.S. Supreme Court decision that struck down the disparagement clause of the Lanham Act and reshaped First Amendment protections in trademark law.

His work has been featured by The New York Times, The Washington Post, Rolling Stone, NPR, BBC, and The Daily Show with Trevor Noah, and his writing on free speech and intellectual property appears regularly in national and legal publications. He is the founder and Executive Director of The Slants Foundation, a nonprofit focused on culture, identity, and civic engagement.
