This resource helps trademark practitioners and in- house counsel — along with the brands, businesses, and other trademark owners they represent — better understand the multi-factor test U.S. federal courts use to identify trademark infringement based on likelihood of confusion. The author, with significant trademark and unfair competition experience, offers actionable insights that help readers assess whether they have cognizable infringement claims against other parties. Over eight chapters, readers will discover hundreds of real-life examples of the types of competitor trademarks that can trigger findings of likelihood of confusion. This work also addresses considerations around the strength of senior marks, mark similarities, product relatedness, consumers and their degree of care, actual confusion, and an alleged infringer’s intentions with their mark.
