The decisions handed down in trademark cases can have diverse—and far-reaching—commercial and social impact. For trial lawyers facing the challenge of litigating Lanham Act cases, extensive knowledge of the complexities of both litigation procedure and trademark law is key.

This resource covers every stage of Lanham Act cases, from pre-filing considerations to disclosures and discovery, through motion practice, trial, and post-trial proceedings. Practitioners will also find analysis of alternative proceedings that may be used in trademark cases, including oppositions and cancellations in the TTAB; UDRP proceedings for domain names; ITC investigations, and alternative dispute resolution tools. Trademark Litigation Practice covers all of these practical litigation topics in detail, with many topics presented in an easy-to-use, circuit-by-circuit format. Significant topics trademark litigators will want to focus on include:

• Use of survey and other expert witnesses in trademark cases
• Injunctive and monetary relief in trademark and false advertising cases
• Discovery and initial disclosures, including discovery of electronically stored information
• Other avenues for pursuing claims relating to trademarks, such as oppositions and cancellations in the TTAB, domain name UDRP proceedings, and actions for exclusion orders in the ITC

Trademark Litigation Practice is unique in providing detailed and comprehensive, yet concise, legal guidance on the strategic issues that lawyers routinely face in Lanham Act litigation. At the same time, the text provides clear analyses of complex problems presented by trademark cases, such as selection and use of survey and other expert witnesses, obtaining preliminary relief, and recovering profits and damages.  Trademark practitioners will find this convenient, detailed resource covering all procedural aspects of trademark litigation extremely helpful in achieving favorable decisions in their cases.
