TRADEMARK REGISTRATION OF PRODUCT COLORS: ISSUES AND ANSWERS Lee Burgunder* I. INTRODUCTION In October, 1985, the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals held that Owens-Corning was entitled to register the color "pink" as a trademark for its fibrous glass residential insulation.' Yet, before this date, the law was well-settled that an overall product color could not be appropriated as a trademark.' Thus, one might think that the Owens-Corning decision represented a controversial turning point in trademark theory with respect to the federal registration of colors. In reality, however, the decision merely marked one more step on the path of confusion upon which the courts recently have been treading in the field of product color trademark registration. Currently, courts focus on the "functionality" of colors in trade- 8 mark cases.

Katyal Even though most scholars and judges treat intellectual property law as a predominantly content-neutralphenomenon, trademark law contains a statutory provision, section 2(a), that provides for the cancellation of marks that are "disparaging," "immoral," or "scandalous." This provision has raised intrinsically powerful constitutional concerns, which invariably affect two central metaphors that are at war within trademark law: the marketplace of goods, which premises itself on the fixedness of intellectual properties, and the marketplace of ideas, which is premised on the very fluidity of language itself. Since the architecture of trademark law focuses only on how marks communicate information about a certain product or corporationwithin the marketplace of goods, it largely underestimates the more complex role that trademarksplay within the marketplace of ideas. Conversely, by only taking into account a brand's expressive implications, the provisions governing scandalous, disparaging,and immoral matter fail to substantively address the source-identifying functions that these marks often serve.

    NEW YORK UNIVERSITY JOURNAL OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND ENTERTAINMENT LAW VOLUME 6 SPRING 2017 NUMBER 2 TOMATO, TAMATIE? REVISING THE DOCTRINE OF FOREIGN EQUIVALENTS IN AMERICAN TRADEMARK LAW THOMAS MERANTE* The growing specter of globalization impacts industries from communication to transportation, resulting in an unparalleled proliferation of cultural diffusion unmatched throughout history. Naturally, this cultural diffusion has familiarized American consumers with foreign brands and foreign languages despite the obvious English dominance domestically, resulting in a trademark quagmire. Under the current American doctrine of foreign equivalents, trademark examiners and courts translate non-English words into English to determine whether they meet the general United States Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO) registration requirements. However, by treating English and non-English words alike, the pool of source-identifying marks is unnecessarily restricted. This note argues that a clear rule-like form that relaxes restrictions of registering descriptive foreign language marks through offering ‘descriptive’ foreign-language a presumption of eligibility for protection would mitigate inconsistent application of the doctrine. Such a rule would also limit costs on consumers and producers that are caused by restricting the range of available marks and inhibiting creative and communicative branding. * J.D.

The latter trend has taken on added importance in light of the Trademark Law Revision Act of 1988, which provides this trend with a congressional stamp of approval.3 The obvious concern raised by these movements, as with any instance of property expansion, is whether they may lead to a fundamental conflict between the roles of separate intellectual property systems.

  • A Comparative Analysis of U.S. and European Community Case Law Regarding Descriptive Signs
    A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF U.S. AND EUROPEAN COMMUNITY CASE LAW REGARDING DESCRIPTIVE SIGNS I. THE RELEVANT LEGAL PROVISIONS AND INTERPRETING CASE LAW: I.1. In the European Community: I.1.a. The applicable provisions of the Council Regulation (EC) No 207/2009 of 26 February 2009 on the Community trademark: - Ground for refusal of registration as a Community trademark of descriptive character: According to Article 7(1)(c) of the Council Regulation (EC) No 207/2009 of 26 February 2009 on the Community trademark, signs which consist exclusively of signs or indications which may serve, in trade, to designate the kind, quality, quantity, intended purpose, value, geographical origin or the time of production of the goods or of rendering of the service, or other characteristics of the good or service, cannot be registered as Community trademarks. This ground for refusal of descriptive character regulated in Article 7(1)(c) does not apply to generic marks which are banned from registration as a Community trade mark by Article 7(1)(d) of the Regulation (“trade marks which consist exclusively of signs or indications which have become customary in the current language or in the bona fide and established practices of the trade”). Article 7(2) provides that a sign cannot be registered as a Community trademark even if the grounds of non-registrability obtain in only part of the Community. It is therefore sufficient for a sign to be rejected pursuant to Article 7(1)(c) of the Regulation on the Community trademark that this sign is descriptive in only one country of the European Union.

  • Patterns of Trademark Genericization
    !1 of !58 Patterns of trademark genericization Good and bad practices WESLEY OVERKLIFT VAUPEL KLEYN MASTER OF SCIENCE IN COMMUNICATION THESIS REPORT NUMBER 2016:094 University of Gothenburg Department of Applied Information Technology Gothenburg, Sweden, May 2016 2016:094 !2 of !58 Abstract Trademark genericization is a threat to companies with well-known products or services. Past cases have demonstrated that breaking certain trademark usage rules can lead to the loss of exclusive rights. This dissertation sought to determine the good and bad practices in trademark genericization processes. Genericization of a trademark occurs when the general public starts using the trademarked name as the generic name for the product category. Companies can counter this by implementing certain strategies. Timing and amount of effort have been proven crucial in past cases. Failure to do so can lead to the loss of enforceable trademark rights. A study has been conducted on trademarks that are facing genericization. The results reveal that trademarks such as Lava® Lamp, Frisbee®, Keso®, Jacuzzi®, and Post-it® are facing an extent of genericization in the Netherlands or Sweden. Keywords: trademark, genericization, genericized trademark, generic brand, intellectual property, descriptive concept, communication University of Gothenburg Department of Applied Information Technology Gothenburg, Sweden, May 2016 2016:094 !3 of !58 Preface Over the past year I have been studying intellectual property rights. I have a special interest in the branding of organisations, and trademarks are a big part of that. Claiming a product name usually starts with registration of the trademark. Once registered, these need to be managed well in order to build brand value.

  • To Bully Or Not to Bully: Understanding the Role of Uncertainty in Trademark Enforcement Decisions
    37.2 KISER ARTICLE.DOCX(DO NOT DELETE) 1/9/2014 9:17 PM TO BULLY OR NOT TO BULLY: UNDERSTANDING THE ROLE OF UNCERTAINTY IN TRADEMARK ENFORCEMENT DECISIONS Jessica M. Kiser* ABSTRACT Companies like Starbucks and Chick-fil-A are routinely labeled trademark bullies. The term “trademark bully” is typically used to describe a large company that uses aggressive intimidation tactics and threats of prolonged trademark infringement litigation to stop small businesses and individuals from using their own trademarks where the stated claims of infringement are likely spurious or non- existent. Trademark bullying harms competition and chills the free speech interests of those seeking to use trademarks for criticism and parody as permitted by the fair use doctrine. This Article identifies two fundamental causes that interact to encourage the aggressive tactics used by trademark bullies. First, trademark law imposes a vague duty on trademark owners to “police” third party trademark use for potential infringement. This uncertain duty renders trademark owners unable to accurately predict the risk of harm that third parties pose to their trademarks. Secondly, inherent cognitive biases affecting evaluations of such risk lead to systematic judgment errors and overestimation of the risk involved, thereby encouraging aggressive trademark enforcement. This Article uses prospect theory, an empirical social science approach to understanding human decision making, to characterize the psychological phenomena, including loss aversion and overestimation of risk, that motivate trademark bullies. Prospect theory explains apparently irrational decision making by trademark bullies. Recently proposed solutions for trademark bullying mistakenly assume that the trademark bully conducts a rational cost-benefit analysis prior to acting.
