36 Initial Legal Responses

37 Types of Trademark Infringement

38 Identical Marks on Competitive Products

39 Types of Trademark Infringement Identical Marks on Competitive Products Similar Marks on Competitive Products

40 Axes and Factors in Assessing Likelihood of Confusion §Similarity of Appearance  SQUIRT / QUIRST (for soft drinks) §Similarity of Sound  Huggies / Dougies (for disposable diapers) §Similarity of Meaning  Apple / Pineapple (for computer products)  Good Morning / Buenos Dias (for bath products) §Marketing Environment

41 Types of Trademark Infringement Identical Marks on Competitive Products Similar Marks on Competitive Products

42 Types of Trademark Infringement Identical Marks on Competitive Products Similar Marks on Competitive Products Similar Marks on Noncompetitive Products

43 Polaroid/McGregor Factors for Noncompetitive Products Ultimate issue: likelihood of confusion §Strength of the plaintiff’s mark §Similarity of the two marks §Proximity of the two products §Quality of the defendant’s product §Likelihood of the plaintiff “bridging the gap” §Actual confusion §Defendant’s “good faith” §Sophistication of buyers of the products §General equities

44 Varieties of “Consumer Confusion” §Source §Endorsement (e.g., Rolls Royce Radio Tubes) §Post-sale (e.g., Ferrari) §Initial Interest (e.g., Brookfield)

45 Types of Trademark Infringement Identical Marks on Competitive Products Similar Marks on Competitive Products Similar Marks on Noncompetitive Products

46 Types of Trademark Infringement Identical Marks on Competitive Products Similar Marks on Competitive Products Similar Marks on Noncompetitive Products Dilution

47 Forms of Dilution (Clinique 1996) §“Dilution by blurring occurs where ‘the defendant uses or modifies the plaintiff's trademark to identify the defendant's goods and services, raising the possibility that the mark will lose its ability to serve as a unique identifier of the plaintiff's product.’ Like tarnishment, blurring is concerned with an injury to the mark's selling power and ‘need not involve any confusion as to source or sponsorship.’” §“Tarnishment may occur when the plaintiff's mark is used by the defendant in association with unwholesome or shoddy goods or services. Tarnishment may also result from an association with obscenity, or sexual or illegal activity, but is not limited to seamy conduct.”

48 International Development of Dilution Doctrine §Originates in Germany, (Odol 1925) §Gradually expands in United States l Schecter, 1927 l State anti-dilution statutes, 1947-present l Federal Trademark Dilution Act, 1996 §Slow introduction elsewhere l Benelux countries, Germany adopt expansive doctrines l EC Harmonization Directive (1988) and EC Community TM Regulation (1993) are ambiguous Benelux countries and France favor generous reading England and ECJ resist

49 Types of Trademark Infringement Identical Marks on Competitive Products Similar Marks on Competitive Products Similar Marks on Noncompetitive Products Dilution

50 Applications of TM Infringement Doctrine to Domain Names §Amadeus Marketing (Italy 1997): TM owner must prove operation of similar DN is directly confusing or damaging to TM §British Telecommunications (UK 1998): A DN incorporating a TM “shows an inherent tendency to confuse” consumers §Champagne Céréales (France 1998): A DN mimicking an unregistered TM creates excessive likelihood of confusion §Braunschweig (Germany 1997): DN incorporating name of a city creates likelihood of confusion

51 Problems 1)“Use in Commerce”? 2)Consumer Confusion? 3)Federal Dilution Doctrine only applies to “famous” marks 4)Judicial proceedings are slow and expensive

52 The New Legal Regime

53 Dispute-Resolution Systems 1)UDRP 2)Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act

54 UDRP governs “Abusive Registrations and Use” of DNs §the domain name is identical or misleadingly similar to a trademark in which someone else has rights. §the holder of the domain name has no rights or legitimate interests in that domain name §the domain name has been registered and is used in bad faith. http://www.icann.org/dndr/udrp/uniform-rules.htm

55 UDRP governs “Abusive Registrations and Use” of DNs §the domain name is identical or misleadingly similar to a trademark in which someone else has rights. §the holder of the domain name has no rights or legitimate interests in that domain name §the domain name has been registered and is used in bad faith. http://www.icann.org/dndr/udrp/uniform-rules.htm

56 Examples of “Bad Faith” §Circumstances indicate that defendant’s main purpose was to sell DN to TM owner for more than the direct costs of registration §History of registering DNs to prevent TM owners from registering §Registering a DN in order to disrupt the business of a competitor §attempting to divert Internet users to Defendant’s site for commercial gain by creating confusion concerning source or sponsorship

57 Examples of “Legitimate Interests” Pre-dispute use or demonstrable preparations to use the DN in bona fide offering of goods or services Defendant was commonly known by the name Legitimate, noncommercial or fair use of the DN without intent to misleadingly divert or tarnish

58 Coverage §All gTLDs §Aprx. 1/3 of ccTLDs

59 Procedure §Complainant picks forum §Respondents have 20 days to respond §No additional submissions typically are permitted §Decision within 14 days of appointment of panelist(s) §Respondents default 50% of the time §Remedies: l Cancellation of the registration l Transfer of the DN to the complainant §Losing respondent can postpone remedy by filing suit within 20 days

60 UDRP Usage §As of May, 2004, 9377 proceedings l Roughly 15,000 domain names l (out of a total of aprx. 60,000,000 DNs of all sorts) §Rates of filing are declining gradually §Most of the DNs challenged under UDRP were registered during the boom of early 2000 §WIPO is the most popular provider, and becoming more so – aprx. 70% of the cases Plaintiffs win 71% of the time See Convergence Center Database: http://dcc.syr.edu/markle/mhome.htm; Mueller Report (6/24/2002): http://dcc.syr.edu/markle/markle-report-final.pdf

70 ACPA, 15 U.S.C. sec. 1125 (d) §TM owners have civil cause of action against defendants who, with bad faith intent to profit from the goodwill of a TM, register or use a DN that is: l identical or confusingly similar to a distinctive mark, l or dilutive of a famous mark

71 ACPA, 15 U.S.C. sec. 1125 (d) §TM owners have civil cause of action against defendants who, with bad faith intent to profit from the goodwill of a TM, register or use a DN that is: l identical or confusingly similar to a distinctive mark, l or dilutive of a famous mark

73 Safe Harbor: §“Bad faith intent” shall not be found where the defendant “believed and had reasonable grounds to believe that the use of the domain name was a fair use or otherwise lawful”

74 Remedies §Injunctive Relief (retroactive) §Damages (nonretroactive) §Statutory Damages (nonretroactive) l $1000 - $100,000 per domain name §In rem jurisdiction §Registrars may sua sponte refuse to register marks that they deem to violate the rules
