Fundamentals of Trademark Law Introduction to Trademark Law: In this lecture, we will explore the essentials of trademark law, an important aspect of intellectual property that protects symbols, names, and slogans used by businesses to identify their goods or services. We'll cover the fundamentals of trademarks, the registration process, the criteria for protection, and the legal ramifications of trademark infringement. What is a Trademark? A trademark is a sign capable of distinguishing the goods or services of one enterprise from those of other enterprises. Trademarks are protected by intellectual property rights and can include words, logos, symbols, or a combination of these. The primary function of a trademark is to identify the source of a product or service, guaranteeing its quality and helping to advertise it. Types of Trademarks: Standard Trademarks: These include words, phrases, symbols, or designs that identify and distinguish the source of the goods of one party from those of others. Service Marks: Similar to trademarks but used to identify and distinguish the services of one provider from those of others. Collective Marks: Used by members of a cooperative, association, or other collective group to indicate membership in the group. Certification Marks: Indicate that the goods or services bearing the mark meet a certain standard of quality or origin. Trademark Registration Process: Registration of a trademark grants the owner exclusive rights and is a legal recognition of the trademark's association with a particular product or service. The process involves: Search: Before applying, it is advisable to search the trademark database to ensure that no identical or similar marks are already registered. Application: Submit an application to the appropriate national or regional trademark office. Examination: The trademark office examines the application to ensure it meets all the legal requirements. Publication: If the application is accepted, the mark is published to allow any third parties to oppose the registration. Registration: If there are no oppositions, or if oppositions are resolved in favor of the applicant, the trademark is registered. Trademark Infringement and Defenses: Trademark infringement occurs when another party uses a mark that is identical or confusingly similar to a registered trademark on competing or related goods and services. Defenses against trademark infringement might include: Non-commercial use: Usage that is not considered commercial may fall outside the scope of infringement. Nominative fair use: When the use of the trademark is necessary to describe another product or service, or to compare it to the trademarked item. Lack of likelihood of confusion: Showing that there is no realistic likelihood that consumers will confuse the two marks. Legal Remedies for Trademark Infringement: Legal remedies available to a trademark owner in the case of infringement can include injunctions to stop the infringement, monetary damages, and in some cases, the recovery of profits made from the unlawful use of the trademark. International Trademark Law: Trademarks are territorial and must be registered in each country where protection is sought. International treaties such as the Madrid System allow for the filing of a single application to register a trademark in multiple countries. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/law-school/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/law-school/support

In this episode, Lisa P. Ramsey, Professor of Law at the University of San Diego School of Law, discusses the Supreme Court's recent decision in Jack Daniel's v. VIP products in light of her article "Raising the Threshold for Trademark Infringement to Protect Free Expression," which she co-authored with Christine Haight Farley, and which is published in the American University Law Review. Ramsey begins by describing what happened in the Jack Daniel's case and why the Supreme Court's opinion is narrower than a lot of commenters realize. She explains why cases like Jack Daniel's present First Amendment problems, and how those problems can be avoided by more robust defenses to trademark infringement and dilution.

While most people would agree that it is not a good idea to sell your soul to the Devil, Satan, with the help of MSCHF Product Studio, Inc. and Lil Nas X, thought of a clever way to take your soles and make you pay for it. That is until Nike decided to swoosh in and slap Satan with a Trademark Infringement lawsuit.

On this episode of SimplyPodLogical, Cristine and Ben discuss trademark law, copyright, protecting your intellectual property, and how other companies can take advantage of an influencer and their audience for profit.

Rachel Hollis, Dave Hollis and Hollis Co. are being sued for Trademark Infringement over ‘Made for More’.  With Rachel Hollis it’s not ‘wow she is getting sued’ it's more of ‘oh finally’. Rachel Hollis has a history of disregarding others intellectual property rights and this lawsuit lays it out! If you want to see the images of all the quotes and properties it’s linked below.  If you are familiar with Rachel Hollis at all you have likely heard of her movie ‘Made for More’.  She also sold Made for More merch on QVC and on her website.  The problem is that ‘Made for More’ is someone else's intellectual property. That means you can’t use it.  It will be so interesting to see how this sorts out.  RESOURCESPodcasts & Videoshttps://youtu.be/RyVJZkSfZlE (Should have seen that coming ….

Trademark infringement is more common than you think. How common, you ask? Well, it's estimated that about 50% of businesses experience trademark infringement, either by being infringed upon or by committing infringement themselves. That's a pretty high number… and it can also be a very costly lawsuit. A recent Supreme Court ruling has changed the game for trademark lawsuits, making it more important than ever to get your trademarks in line (learn more about that important ruling here!) So today we'll get to the heart of your infringement questions in a way that allows you to take a deep breath... and then take action to safeguard your business.In this episode, we'll cover: What exactly constitutes trademark infringementThe important considerations you must make if you suspect that you're infringing on a trademark, or if someone is infringing on yours. Trademark cancellations - how ‘being first' can help in your trademark fight. Why an official trademark search is imperative to ensuring that you know where you stand with your trademark. Rebranding your business after infringementIf you need help protecting your company's trademarks or running an official trademark search, shoot me an email at andrea@andreasager.com. Let us know what you learned from this episode!

In this topical episode, Hatti Suvari and seasoned IP barrister Nicole Bollard, discuss what is meant by the term Intellectual Property, the term Trademark and Copyright, what is considered to have Copyright, how online music and content can be used by you if it is Copyrighted, what to do if you did not know that a piece of music, photograph or content was Copyrighted and if you have been using it, as well as if you are approached by the owner of a piece of music or photograph/logo/brand, and if there is a way to check if something has been Copyrighted or Trademarked. In this conversation, Hatti and Nicole also discuss the benefits of Trademarking your brand, company name, logo, item or creation, and the meaning of 'passing off' and 'Trademark Infringement'. A great introductory conversation in to this area of law, that can have a profound positive effect on our work and creations once it is understood. #trademark #musiccopyright #photographcopyright #copyright #brands #brandnames #trademarkinfringement #infringement #logoprotection #intellectualproperty #ip #iplaw

1010 WINS All Local 5.4.2020

America's favorite export, that's right, LeBron James, and his media company, and Nike were all sued for trademark infringement this week in the Federal District Court of Washington D C. Why were they sued for trademark infringement and what does that tell the small business? So first off they were, excuse me, they were sued for trademark infringement because all of these entities, LeBron James' media company and Nike are using a phrase called “I am more than an athlete,” which another company in the Washington DC area already has registered for a clothing and other apparel in the nonprofit industry. In other words, they're selling clothing in order to raise funds for other charities. So it's very tricky, actually, when it comes to trademark law because, obviously, Nike and LeBron James are using this phrase in clothing. But if you go take a look at the use, the use is really on the front of the clothing, maybe on the sides, maybe on the sleeves. And in trademark law we call that ornamental use.  Ornamental use of a phrase where people are not really expecting a trademark is not really trademark use. We have to have in clothing use of a trademark on hang tags, on the back tags maybe where consumers expect it like on a breast pocket or maybe on the back of jeans. Those particular areas show us that, that that's where branding typically happens and therefore it's trademark use and not ornamental use. So that could easily be a defense that is used. That's not actually trademark use. The other issue that I have is if I'm the plaintiff, also ornamental use might be a problem. The registration of the trademark not withstanding, if there's ornamental use only then the plaintiff doesn't have a trademark to enforce. The lesson here is if you're an apparel company of any sort, no matter what kind of apparel is being made, you have to make sure that your trademarks are used properly as a trademark hang tags, breast pockets, back pockets. Those particular areas show that your mark is not, ornamental, if it's just on the front, that's going to be ornamental and therefore not a trademark. I'm Anthony Verna, managing partner of Verna Law where we focus on IP and advertising law. Visit us vernalaw.com. See you next time.

Companies trademark colors associated with their brands. Infringements trigger lawsuits. Nivea loves its rich blue; Deutsche Telekom's identity is magenta. Customer loyalty and lots of money are at stake.

Some statistics for 2019 are coming in in the trademark world. And in these particular statistics, one survey from CompuMark, a company from Clarivate Analytics and a company that does all of the Verna Law trademark searching, we're finding that for trademark infringement, main consequences were: customer confusion at 45% of respondents a loss of revenue due to trademark infringement for 38% of respondents to the survey and damage to brand reputation, which was 37% of respondents to the survey. Three quarters of trademark infringements also led to litigation, which doesn't really surprise me as litigation tends to keep climbing up every year. 40% of organizations have stated they spent between $50,000 to $249,000 on legal proceedings for trademark infringement. 46% of respondents said that a rebrand was a result of the infringement proceeding. Again, that doesn't really surprise me as defendants do tend to need to rebrand because, of course, they're the ones who are allegedly infringing. With brands filing infringement matters, what does this tell us? One, the registration of a trademark is very important. Recently we had a settlement where the settlement probably was not as good as we would've hoped for our client because the trademark registration was not in effect at the time of infringement. So that registration really does matter. Two, planning matters as well. If you're a smaller business, understand that you're going to be playing the same game as all of the big businesses when it comes to trademark infringement. So if you're going to register, you need to plan for what's going to happen if your mark is infringed, how you're going to budget, and how you're going to deal with the infringement. Sending a cease and desist letter in today's world generally doesn't get the same results as it used to. You're generally going to have to go to court and you're generally going to have to deal with high costs because right off the bat, most defense defendants today send file a motion to dismiss as a de rigeur part of their defense. So make sure that you're clear as a trademark owner what your costs are going to be in understanding this. Also if you're going to be creating any new brands, do your due diligence because doing your due diligence means that you can understand what brands are out there, what registered trademarks are out there, so that you can kind of fit your mark in this big virtual space that we have called trademark registrations. If your mark could infringe on somebody else's mark, maybe he should nip that in the bud from the very beginning rather than being a defendant in a trademark infringement suit. Three, when you're dealing with the budget, make sure you understand how your business can rebrand if you need to. That pivot is always going to be important. You always have to plan for every single situation when you're dealing with intellectual property. I'm Anthony Verna, managing partner of Verna Law, P.C, but chances are you already knew that.

Right before Christmas, my wife had to pick me up from the airport and it's not fun to go from the airport straight to my parents. Where was I? I was in Los Angeles at a mediation. While I have the philosophical problem with a federal court ordering the parties to a private mediation, that's what happened in this case. So let's talk about what happens if you have a trademark infringement suit and are going to mediation. Number one, you need to expect to be compromising on your case in order to settle it. If a court is ordering you to mediation, whether that's a judge-led mediation or a private mediation, the judge really is expecting you to settle your case. That means that you have to compromise. Well, both parties have to compromise. That means you as the plaintiff can't be expecting $10 million if there's only, for example, 1000 sales. Of course, depending upon the price of the product. Number two, you need to understand the weaknesses for that particular situation. If your trademark is not registered, that is a weakness.  Number three, you're also going to be sitting down with somebody who probably doesn't necessarily have a lot of power but will be able to hopefully talk to both sides. So that person is going to prepare for the case. So, also, you have to know the strengths of your case and you also have to know the weaknesses of your case. That is very key in a mediation and it's certainly something that that personally I struggle with with my clients. I want to show you the strengths of the case, but I also am obligated to say here's why your case is not necessarily worth $10 million or here's why your case, you know is going to need to settle during this particular phase. Number four, understand that also there's going to be a lot of downtime at a mediation. The mediator is going to talk to us, the mediator is going to talk to the other side and there's a whole lot of thinking for what doesn't exactly seem like a whole lot of action. Don't expect a whole lot of action, expect a lot of downtime and trying to settle a case. It's going to take time, but hopefully during the mediation, the lawsuit can settle. Understand your case, understand the weaknesses of your case. Expect the private mediator to talk to both sides in order to get that resolution and ultimately expect to compromise on that resolution. But during that private mediation, get the resolution and then your case will be settled and then both sides can move on with the business that that, that they're doing. I'm Anthony Verna, managing partner of Verna Law, where we focus on IP and advertising law. Thank you.

Stop what you’re doing – right now! That, essentially, is the most basic thought when it comes to a cease and desist order. In business, your brand - your commercial identity - is all you have to define you. It tells others that you are what they want. So when another company or organization piggybacks on your brand - by using your name or identity - you will likely issue a cease and desist order - to tell them to stop immediately. But those can backfire if you are too harsh. In our era of digital and social media, you have to be creative, or crafty. In this podcast episode filled with interesting examples, JDSA attorney Sally White explores the new necessity in business: Creative Approaches to Cease and Desist Communications.

When are you violating someone else’s trademark rights?  OR, flip-side, when should you get in touch with someone you think might be infringing your trademark and ask them to change it?   How can you interpret your search results when you type your trademark into the USPTO website? I received this great question in an online business community, CoCommercial, and realized I’ve never dug into how lawyers, courts, and the USPTO evaluate when trademarks are too close. This is a meaty episode on a complex topic, where I covered: Consumer confusion - what trademark law is intended to prevent, and why this matters Who has “priority rights” over a trademark in the US When might you need to evaluate whether one trademark is too similar to another? How to figure out if trademarks are too close Does it matter if one trademark has a few extra words? What about different spelling? When are two logos too similar? Does it matter if someone copied a trademark intentionally, or by accident? Examples of trademarks that are and are not too similar When you need to bring in an experienced IP attorney to help you evaluate a potential trademark infringement Key takeaway: trademarks do not have to be identical to potentially be infringing!   If you have questions about whether one trademark is too close to another, post them in our Legal Road Map® Facebook group!  Just request access and we’ll let you right in.

The guys discuss the fallout from alocal San Diego blogger who accused San Diego Magazine of stealing her business name. They then answer the question, "I'm a sole proprietor. What is some good tax advice to reduce my year end profit?" Full Podcast Transcript NASIR: All right, welcome to our podcast where we cover business in the news and answer some of your business legal questions that you, the listener, a business owner, can send in to ask@legallysoundsmartbusiness.com. My name is Nasir Pasha. MATT: And I’m Matt Staub. NASIR: And, this time, we have a nice local episode in San Diego. MATT: Well… NASIR: What? MATT: Local for me; not for you. NASIR: Yeah. Well, the topic’s local, that’s what I mean. MATT: Oh, okay. NASIR: It’s about this issue that’s going online with San Diego Magazine, but I’ll let Matt introduce it. He said he has some “hot takes” on it. I’m not sure what a hot take is, but I do have some takes as well. MATT: So, San Diego Magazine, they published their September issue. On the front, it says, “Hidden San Diego.” It’s all these secret things to do and see and I kind of want to see where some of these things are, but I’ll have to buy the issue, I guess. Or maybe I won’t. I don’t know if I’m going to protest what they’ve done. But, apparently, what is this? A blog, I think, is what it is. I should probably know this. NASIR: Yeah, it’s a blog. Or it’s a website. MATT: I guess I didn’t go to the website which I probably should have. NASIR: Yeah, you probably should have. MATT: So, there’s a woman, they called her a blogger so I figured she just had a website/blog, but it’s also called Hidden San Diego. So, now, this issue came out and she is very upset because she’s claiming that the magazine essentially stole her idea. She’s been doing this for four years, according to her. Now, she’s basically had her idea stolen and all her hard work. So, this happens, she posts something on Facebook. There’s actually a pretty big backlash against San Diego Magazine. I guess she had a lot of people on her side. And then, San Diego Magazine posts a response about a story they allegedly stole which, I guess, it’s not even really a story they stole. I think it’s more of an idea. We’ll have to link the response so people can read it. But the response is pretty poor in my opinion. It’s really belittling the blogger and this is where I’m torn, I guess. The facts are, I think, in favor of San Diego Magazine, if everything is true, based on what they say; they just did it in the worst, you know, one of the worst ways possible. Like, they could have handled this with a lot more tact and come off a lot more professionally. NASIR: I’m looking at hiddensandiego.net. So, it looks like this is a well-developed site. I mean, there’s a lot of content. It’s not necessarily the best designed site, but it seems like a lot of people do read it and, let’s see, it is a blog, I guess, and it looks like the last post was on October 26, 2014 – a couple of months still. But she’s already talking about how San Diego Magazine, they actually filed a trademark for “Hidden San Diego.” That’s pretty much the issue. MATT: That was probably, like, the most important part of it. Sorry. NASIR: That’s okay. MATT: I thought I’d mentioned that for some reason. NASIR: This is a trademark dispute. And so, what San Diego Magazine did, I think, as far as we know, all they did right now was file a trademark and they have one issue about hidden spots in San Diego. The response, like Matt said, it’s not really well-written which is unusual for a publication of this kind and it does seem kind of petty. But, nonetheless, they do make some arguments that are pretty compelling from a legal perspective. First of all, this blogger did not trademark the term “Hidden San Diego” as far as I know, as far as from what she’s published online. Second is “Secret San Diego,” first of all, it’s not necessarily original an idea. I mean,

The guys discuss the trademark infringement case involving Mickey Mouse and Deadmau5. They also answer, "What should I include in a general release?" Full Podcast Transcript NASIR: Welcome to Legally Sound Smart Business. You’re listening to Legally Sound Smart Business with Nasir Pasha. MATT: And this is Matt Staub. NASIR: And welcome to our podcast where we cover business in the news and also answer some of your business legal questions that you, the listener, can send in to ask@legallysoundsmartbusiness.com and, of course, follow us on Twitter. The Twitter handle is @askbizlaw. MATT: I don’t know how the intros get worse as the week progresses. I know I always talk about this but you’re so good at everything else. The intros, not as good, but that’s fine. Actually, I want to get into the story here but first it’s dealing with Mickey Mouse and a DJ but I just wanted to know. I’m guessing you don’t know who this is but I wanted to see how you would pronounce his name. NASIR: Oh. Uh, yeah, of course, it’s Deadmau5. MATT: Okay. I think that’s what a lot of people say. It’s “deadmouse” is the actual pronunciation. NASIR: Yeah, that’s what I said. Yeah, “deadmouse.” MATT: Okay. NASIR: I was saying how most people would say something stupid like Deadmau5 but, yeah, “deadmouse.” MATT: Well, I don’t hold that against you at all but, like I said, a lot of people probably say this – even people that listen to the music. For those of you who don’t know or maybe those of you who’ve heard of him, there’s a very iconic thing he wears on his head when he does all of his DJ-ing. I’d say one of the most popular DJs right now in the last few years. But how to describe it is he wears this thing on his head that essentially makes him look like Mickey Mouse – an electric techno version of Mickey Mouse. We’ll definitely link a story so you guys can check it out for yourself to see what it looks like because it’s hard to picture it if you haven’t seen it but that’s where this whole lawsuit’s come into play. There’s a dispute over the infringement of Mickey Mouse’s head, more or less. And so… NASIR: You know, I hate to interrupt you but I was looking at this article that we’re referencing here and it says, “Here are the two logos side by side. You be the judge.” It’s not a picture of a logo. It’s literally a picture of someone in a Mickey Mouse costume and then this Deadmau5 character and a picture of him DJ-ing. It’s weird to just call them logos. I don’t know what the definition of logos is but apparently it’s changed. MATT: That’s poor captioning by… NASIR: The Daily Beast. MATT: Yeah, The Daily Beast. We talk about these infringement issues a lot and they do look similar but there’s a few different things about this case and other ones – one of which being that Deadmau5 has – well, the guy, I forget his actual real name, something Zimmerman – he owns trademarks to this logo – there’s your logo – in thirty different countries and has been using the image for over a decade. That definitely works in his favor, I would say. I’d assume that Disney had some sort of trademark for the Mickey Mouse logo. I would think they have to have it. NASIR: I would assume so. MATT: Obviously, they do because they even have an act that’s better known as the Mickey Mouse Protection Act. Deadmau5, he already has a lot of these trademarks filed so that definitely works in his favor. Another thing too is it’s not whether he can trademark this. I think they’re kind of saying that he can but it’s whether it’s infringing upon what Disney has with Mickey Mouse. NASIR: In other words, I think they’re saying that, “Okay, you can still use it,” but, as far as making it a registration, I think they’re opposing that and I can understand that. You mentioned that he registered in another country. Sometimes, it’s easier to do so in other countries like China is classic that it’s basically first to file. In fact, just as a side note,

Nasir and Matt get into the story about a woman being accused of trademark infringement after changing her middle name to "Skywalker." They also answer the question, "What is the agent for service of process and who can I use for my business?" Full Podcast Transcript NASIR: Welcome to Legally Sound Smart Business. This is Nasir Pasha. MATT: And this is Matt Staub. NASIR: Coming from a far, far away galaxy and this is our podcast where we cover business legal news and answer some of your business legal questions that you, the listener, can send in to ask@legallysoundsmartbusiness.com. MATT: You’re really amped up for this episode. Remember you mentioned on a previous episode – I can’t remember which one you were – if you were Star Wars or Star Trek. NASIR: Star Wars, for sure. MATT: Star Wars, for sure? NASIR: Well, honestly, I just never watched Star Trek so I can’t even really judge but yeah. MATT: Yeah. Well, you’re going to like the story that we have today and maybe you’re going to do this, too. NASIR: Great! I’m excited! MATT: It’s going to be some advice for you because I know you’ve mentioned before wanting to change your middle name. NASIR: That’s true. MATT: This is going to be your legal advice on how to do it correctly. So, this is a weird story but there’s this woman in Europe, in the UK, and she legally changed her name, her middle name, to Skywalker. You know, whatever, you can change your name, not that big a deal, you would think. She’d changed a bunch of official documents, no problems. I’m sure other people have the name “Skywalker” maybe as a middle name because people that really love Star Wars, they can see that happening. Anyways, on her passport, apparently, there was an issue because they said the name Skywalker actually infringes on a trademark that I would assume that George Lucas or whatever company runs the… NASIR: George Lucas, he did sell some of the rights to create the movies to Disney which they’re creating the other ones, but I still think he retains most of the rights, if I recall, but I could be wrong. MATT: So, basically, they were saying, “Hey, this infringes on a trademark, you can’t use this and this isn’t going to work.” So, long story short, she’s going to be able to get around it so far with some weird process of she’d have to submit a new form with her old signature, blah blah blah. But this can’t be the first time that someone has changed their middle name to this – or I can definitely see two parents that are obsessed with Star Wars making “Skywalker” a kid’s middle name, right? I don’t think this is the first occurrence. NASIR: Exactly, and I find it very strange and I think it’s because she changed her name to that. Also, this is in the UK so it’s hard to really know what’s going on here, but it does show you the power of trademarks and copyright. You know, once you have it and you establish it and you enforce it, you have the home office in the UK of passports enforcing a law that they don’t even need to enforce necessarily. It doesn’t make any sense but it shows you that power. MATT: Yeah, you’re exactly right. I mean, you wouldn’t even think this would be an issue, and I’m sure she obviously didn’t because she might have thought twice about it. But there is a lot of power. It’s like they say; it’s not about getting the trademark or whatever piece of intellectual property. It’s all about the defense. I mean, that’s where the power comes. The story doesn’t even say whether George Lucas or Disney even cared. NASIR: No, I don’t think so. MATT: I don’t see why they would care. If anything, she’s just appreciating their work. They stopped it before it could even get to that point. It’s just so weird. Like, Skywalker, I’m sure there’s people with other middle names that are trademarked as well. I don’t see what the problem is. NASIR: And I can’t point to any specific case specifically but I’d be very surprised if some court found trademark infringement for som...
