In the Supreme Court of the United States No. 16- In the Supreme Court of the United States LEE JASON KIBLER, d/b/a DJ LOGIC, PETITIONER, v. ROBERT BRYSON HALL, II; VISIONARY MUSIC GROUP, INC.; WILLIAM MORRIS ENDEAVOR ENTERTAINMENT, LLC; THREE OH ONE PRODUCTIONS, LLC; UMG RECORDINGS, INC., d/b/a DEF JAM RECORDINGS, RESPONDENTS. ON PETITION FOR A WRIT OF CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE SIXTH CIRCUIT PETITION FOR A WRIT OF CERTIORARI AL J. DANIEL, JR. Counsel of Record Daniel Law PLLC 305 Broadway, 7th Floor New York, NY 10007 (212) 721-0902 May 12, 2017 [email protected] i QUESTIONS PRESENTED There is a long-standing circuit conflict as to whether balancing likelihood of confusion factors in a trademark infringement case is a question of law for the court or a question of fact for the trier of fact. Frisch’s Restaurants, Inc. v. Elby’s Big Boy, Inc., 670 F.2d 642 (6th Cir.), cert. denied, 459 U.S. 916 (1982) (White, J., dissenting, citing conflicting decisions). Only the courts of appeals for the Second, Sixth, and Federal Circuits balance the factors as an issue of law rather than an issue of fact for the trier of fact. Hana Financial, Inc. v. Hana Bank, 574 U.S. ___ (No. 13-1211, Jan. 21, 2015) holds that a claim of “tacking” in a trademark infringement case is a question of fact for the trier of fact, not a question of law for the court, resolving a similar circuit conflict. Deciding likelihood of confusion is the same kind of fact-intensive inquiry as tacking. The questions presented here are: 1. Whether the courts below erred by balancing the trademark likelihood of confusion factors as an issue of law rather than a question of fact, contrary to this Court’s analysis in Hana Financial and the majority of circuits. 2. Whether the court of appeals erred by affirming summary judgment against petitioner where it applied the wrong standard of review for balancing the trademark likelihood of confusion factors. ii RULES 14.1 AND 29.6 STATEMENTS All parties are identified in the caption of this petition. Petitioner was the plaintiff in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan and was the appellant in the court of appeals. Petitioner is a natural person. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS Questions Presented i Rules 14.1(b) and 29.6 Statement ii Opinions and orders below 1 Jurisdiction 1 Statutes Involved 1 Statement 1 A. Relevant Trademark Law 7 B. Facts Relevant to Petitioner’s Trademark Claims 11 C. The District Court Dismissed Petitioner’s Claims on Summary Judgment, Balancing the Likelihood Of Confusion Factors As a Matter of Law 16 D. The Sixth Circuit Affirmed Summary Judgment Dismissal, Balancing Confusion Factors As a Matter of Law Under Its Precedent 19 iv Reasons for Granting the Petition 26 I. Balancing the Likelihood of Confusion Factors in a Trademark Infringement Case Is a Question of Fact For the Trier of Facts 28 II. The Minority Rule Prevents Proper Application of the Test for Summary Judgment on Likelihood of Confusion Issues 30 III.

OPINIONS AND ORDERS BELOW The opinion and judgment of the court of appeals (Appendix, infra, 1a-30a) (“App.”) is reported at 843 F.3d 1068 (6th Cir. 2016). The order and judgment of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan (App. 31a-45a) are not yet reported. JURISDICTION The judgment of the court of appeals was entered on December 13, 2016. On March 1, 2017, Associate Justice Elena Kagan extended the time within which to file a petition for a writ of certiorari to and including May 12, 2017. This Court has jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. 1254(1). STATUTES INVOLVED The relevant provisions of the Trademark Act are more fully set forth in Appendix J, infra. STATEMENT The issues presented are of exceptional importance to uniform application of the likelihood of confusion test for trademark infringement under the Trademark Act of 1946 (Lanham Act), 15 U.S.C. 2 1114(1) and 1125(a)(1). These issues arise in almost every federal trademark infringement case. The application of this important trademark law test in district courts and on appeal should be uniform.

  • Power Gold: Concentration Game CMA Sets Trend for Industry
    February 10, 2020, Issue 691 Power Gold: Concentration Game This edition of Country Aircheck’s Power Gold is led by eight artists who combine for 46 of the Top 100 most-heard Gold hits. Luke Bryan and Florida Georgia Line lead the parade with seven songs apiece, followed by Jason Aldean and Zac Brown Band with six each. Rounding out the top PG hit-makers are Kenny Chesney, Thomas Rhett, Blake Shelton and Carrie Underwood, all with five hits in the Top 100. One artist – Dierks Bentley – places four songs in this elite group, meaning that nine acts are responsible for 50% of the current Power Gold. More thoughts on that later. Twenty-three songs from 20 artists are new Luke Bryan to the Top 100 since we ran the list last year (CAW 1/14/19). Interestingly, four songs in that group are more than five years old and are actually making a return appearance to the PG 100. They are Tim McGraw’s “Live Like You Were Dying” (2004), Bentley’s “Free And Easy (Down The Staff Hearted: WNCY/Appleton, WI’s Shotgun Shannon, Luke Road I Go)” (2007), Bryan’s “I See You” (2015) and FGL’s “Sippin’ Reid, Charli McKenzie, Hannah, Dan Stone and PJ (l-r) show On Fire” (2015). off the station’s 23rd annual Y100 Country Cares for St. Jude This Top 100 Power Gold – along with the airplay information in Kids Radiothon total. the previous paragraph – is culled from Mediabase 24/7 and music airplay information from the Country Aircheck/Mediabase reporting panel for the week of January 26-Feb.

  • Kip Moore on Building a Loyal Audience, Why Music Row Wears ‘Blinders’
    (07.17.18) - https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-country/kip-moore-on-building-a- loyal-audience-why-music-row-wears-blinders-700338/ Kip Moore on Building a Loyal Audience, Why Music Row Wears ‘Blinders’ “You can have these hits on radio, but it doesn’t really translate,” says Moore, who despite any major chart success has cultivated an extensive international touring base. It’s barely 11:00 a.m. on the second day of Nashville’s summertime centerpiece, the CMA Music Festival, and Kip Moore is sitting outside of the HGTV Lodge stage in the blazing June heat, waiting to perform. Moore, who just returned from months of sold-out European and Canadian dates, isn’t exactly used to starting gigs before noon. But as Nissan Stadium looms across the river, waiting for the night’s CMA Fest lineup of radio-friendly all-stars, he’s no less ready: for Moore, a show is a show, and he’ll give it everything he’s got, even if he’s barely finished breakfast. “A lot of artists put it on cruise control,” Moore tells Rolling Stone Country, sitting in a director’s chair in jeans, a black sleeveless shirt and boots. “A lot of times, stuff feels stock. They might put on the same exact show, and have the same exact conversation with the audience, and eventually the audience picks up on it. I always try to stay very present during my shows. I’ve never missed a soundcheck in my career. I think that pays dividends.” Indeed, Moore, who will be launching a new run – the After the Sunburn Tour – in September, with the Wild Feathers, Jordan Davis, Caroline Jones and Jillian Jacqueline joining on select dates, is quickly becoming one of country music’s most tireless and powerful live draws, and not just within the Unites States.

  • Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: an Analysis Into Graphic Design's
    Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres by Vivian Le A THESIS submitted to Oregon State University Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems (Honors Scholar) Presented May 29, 2020 Commencement June 2020 AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Vivian Le for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems presented on May 29, 2020. Title: Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres. Abstract approved:_____________________________________________________ Ryann Reynolds-McIlnay The rise of digital streaming has largely impacted the way the average listener consumes music. Consequentially, while the role of album art has evolved to meet the changes in music technology, it is hard to measure the effect of digital streaming on modern album art. This research seeks to determine whether or not graphic design still plays a role in marketing information about the music, such as its genre, to the consumer. It does so through two studies: 1. A computer visual analysis that measures color dominance of an image, and 2. A mixed-design lab experiment with volunteer participants who attempt to assess the genre of a given album. Findings from the first study show that color scheme models created from album samples cannot be used to predict the genre of an album. Further findings from the second theory show that consumers pay a significant amount of attention to album covers, enough to be able to correctly assess the genre of an album most of the time.
