A trademark is often a company's most valuable asset because it identifies and distinguishes the source, origin, and quality of the company's services and products in the marketplace. To maintain a trademark's value, owners must vigorously defend and protect their brands against tarnishment, infringement, and misappropriation by others. To do this effectively, U.S. trademark owners and their counsel must have reliable, up-to-date information about the remedies available to them so that they may chart the best legal strategies. Trademark Infringement Remedies provides that information.
This valuable reference gives practitioners complete and authoritative coverage of all aspects of trademark rights, liabilities, and remedies in both traditional and emerging forms of trademark use and abuse. The treatise includes detailed analysis of the federal, state, and common law remedies available. It delivers thorough information on how to secure injunctive relief for your clients and how to protect the value of their trademarks. You also get complete coverage of monetary relief available to trademark owners and the full scope of available remedies, including attorney's fees, special enforcement remedies, state law remedies, remedies for counterfeit goods, and more. It is an invaluable source of up-to-date information on the practical issues that govern each instance of infringement that determines what the parties can potentially expect in a variety of situations.
The 2009 Cumulative Supplement provides updates on the important developments and key challenges in trademark infringement remedies, including:
- Extensive analysis of Saul Zaentz Co. v. Wozniak Travel Inc., the 2008 case from the northern district of California, dealing with the concept of natural expansion zones of strong marks, such as J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit, as well as many new topics related to zone theory, including the Internet and its distinctive zone of territoriality
- An examination of how one court, in Malletier v. Burlington Coat Factory Warehouse Corp., interpreted the "public interest" when granting a TRO, and in another instance (Lorillard Tobacco Co. v. Isaac G. Engida, an unpublished Tenth Circuit decision) where balancing the harm came into play, denied the TRO
- A look at how courts currently approach the award of lost profits and contains as well a new discussion of reverse confusion
- Scrutiny of Green v. Fornario, in which the Third Circuit interprets attorneys' fee awards to prevailing plaintiffs
- New information on corrective advertising as an element of damages, such as how Punch Clock, Inc. v. Smart Software Development included the cost of Google AdWords in its damage award
Trademark Infringement Remedies, written by experts in the ABA Section of Intellectual Property Law, is a "must have" resource for trademark practitioners for use in identifying infringement of clients' trademarks, guiding them in securing swift action for injunctive relief, and assisting them in winning significant damage awards in both state and federal courts.
