Trademark Infringement and Likelihood of Confusion

Thursday, May 17th, 2012

As a trademark attorney, I see things every day, many of which don’t surprise me anymore.  But I have to say one thing that I really hear a lot in the area of trademark registration and trademark infringement is, “Hey, my mark is different than the one that is being used by the trademark holder” or “my mark isn’t exactly the same” or “my logo is slightly different.”  What people fail to realize is that trademarks protect around the mark.  They protect more than just the literal use of the word or the design element or the logo or the colors in the related elements of the trademark use.

What Is Trademark Law?

Monday, December 19th, 2011

Trademark law is the protection of symbols that serve as a designator of origin, source, sponsorship, endorsement, or affiliation. Trademark rights are obtained through a use of the trademark in commerce in association with goods or services, however, trademark registration provides additional benefits. Trademark registration allows a party file a lawsuit for trademark infringement in federal court, to obtain up to $2,000,000 in statutory damages for trademark infringement, and to put others on notice of their rights through the use of the circle-R symbol.
