  • Trademarks, Metatags, and Initial Interest Confusion: a Look to the Past to Re- Conceptualize the Future
    173 TRADEMARKS, METATAGS, AND INITIAL INTEREST CONFUSION: A LOOK TO THE PAST TO RE- CONCEPTUALIZE THE FUTURE CHAD J. DOELLINGER* INTRODUCTION Web sites, through domain names and metatags, have created a new set of problems for trademark owners. A prominent problem is the use of one’s trademarks in the metatags of a competitor’s web site. The initial interest confusion doctrine has been used to combat this problem.1 Initial interest confusion involves infringement based on confusion that creates initial customer interest, even though no transaction takes place.2 Several important questions have currently received little atten- tion: How should initial interest confusion be defined? How should initial interest confusion be conceptualized? How much confusion is enough to justify a remedy? Who needs to be confused, when, and for how long? How should courts determine when initial interest confusion is sufficient to support a finding of trademark infringement? These issues have been glossed over in the current debate by both courts and scholars alike. While the two seminal opinions involving the initial interest confusion doctrine, Brookfield Commun., Inc. v. West Coast Ent. Corp.3 and * B.A., B.S., University of Iowa (1998); J.D., Yale Law School (2001). Mr. Doellinger is an associate with Pattishall, McAuliffe, Newbury, Hilliard & Geraldson, 311 S.

  • Vol. 93 TMR 1035
    Vol. 93 TMR 1035 RECONSIDERING INITIAL INTEREST CONFUSION ON THE INTERNET By David M. Klein and Daniel C. Glazer∗ I. INTRODUCTION Courts developed the theory of initial interest confusion (or “pre-sale confusion”) to address the unauthorized use of a trademark in a manner that captures consumer attention, even though no sale is ultimately completed as a result of any initial confusion. During the last few years, the initial interest confusion doctrine has become a tool frequently used to resolve Internet- related disputes.1 Indeed, some courts have characterized initial interest confusion on the Internet as a “distinct harm, separately actionable under the Lanham Act.”2 This article considers whether the initial interest confusion doctrine is necessary in the context of the Internet. Courts typically have found actionable initial interest confusion when Internet users, seeking a trademark owner’s website, are diverted by identical or confusingly similar domain names to websites in competition with, or critical of, the trademark owner. A careful analysis of these decisions, however, leads to the conclusion that a distinct initial interest confusion theory may be unnecessary to resolve cases involving the unauthorized use of a trademark as a domain name. In fact, traditional notions of trademark infringement law and multi-factor likelihood of confusion tests may adequately address the balancing of interests required in cases where courts must define the boundaries of trademark owners’ protection against the use of their marks in the domain names of competing websites. The Federal Trademark Dilution Act (FTDA)3 and the Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act (ACPA)4 provide additional protection against the unauthorized use of domain names that dilute famous marks or evidence a bad ∗ Mr.

Before you apply to register your mark with our office, be sure you can answer “yes” to the following questions: ¨ Have you completed a thorough search (including of the USPTO and other states’ trademark/service mark databases) to determine if your mark or a similar mark is already in use in Rhode Island or elsewhere? ¨ Is your mark currently being used in commerce in the State of Rhode Island? Have you sold or distributed goods or services where your mark is clearly distinguishable in connection with those goods or services? ¨ Have you ensured your mark is not: • Immoral, deceptive, or scandalous? • Disparaging or misrepresentative of a person (living or dead), institution, belief, or national symbol? • Inclusive of a flag or coat of arms of the United States of America, any state or municipality, or any foreign nation? • The name, signature, or image of any living person (unless you have written consent from that person)? • Merely descriptive of the goods or services? (e.g., “Frozen” for ice cream) • Merely geographically descriptive of the goods or services? (e.g., “Providence Club”) • A surname? Registration of a trademark or service mark does not prevent another person from registering the name as a d/b/a (doing business as) in the city or town where their business is located, nor does it prevent another person from incorporating under the same name.

  • Application for Registration Or Renewal, Review the Items Below to Ensure the Application Has Been Completed
    STATE OF ALABAMA INSTRUCTIONS FOR APPLICATION TO REGISTER/RENEW TRADEMARK, SERVICE MARK, OR TRADE NAME IN ALABAMA REGISTRATION/RENEWAL Trademark, service mark, and trade name (hereinafter referred to as “marks”) registrations are administered at the state level in the Office of the Secretary of State. Any word, symbol, logo, slogan or combination thereof adopted and used by the applicant to identify services rendered is a Service Mark. Any word, symbol, logo, slogan or any combination thereof adopted and used by the applicant to identify goods made or sold is a Trademark. A word, symbol, logo, slogan or combination thereof adopted and used by the applicant to identify the business, vocation, occupation, or profession is a Trade Name. Registration of marks is a complex matter. Because of the complexity of the laws pertaining to registration of marks, this office recommends that applicants seek the advice of (a) specifically trained and/or licensed professional(s) prior to submitting the application. It is the applicant’s personal responsibility to ensure the mark does not infringe on any other individual/business mark. It is also the responsibility of the applicant to ensure the mark is not being used in a fraudulent manner. Rejection/denial of the application by this office does not prevent use of the mark. Rights of ownership of a particular mark are achieved through the common laws of adoption and usage, not registration. The effective term for mark registrations is five years. A mark may be renewed for successive periods of five years six months prior to the expiration date if the mark is still in use in the state.

The Internet holds great promise for the American consumer to exercise that know-how. However, cybersquatting I is keeping consumers from cashing in on that promise. While they may have millions of megabytes of information at their fingertips, the information presented to consumers may be deceiving or fraudulent. How is a consumer to verify the source of each product and piece of information in this new world of electronic storefronts and one-click purchasing? Many consumers lack the resources to verify the source or authenticity of the information they receive and even more are unaware that they should question it. Consumers increasingly rely on trademarks and the goodwill equity of valuable brand names to locate the true source of genuine goods and services on the Internet.2 The graphical interface on a website and its address are often the only indications of the source and3 authenticity of the site and the goods and services available thereon.

First, cyberspace provides millions of people with a low cost way to become an instant publisher of an on-line magazine with a potential global audience. For decades it has seemed like every possible splinter religious group, offbeat political viewpoint, movie star fan club and collector's association has had a newsletter or fanzine. Now, each individual within every splinter group can have his or her own web page, putting out a message with eye-catching graphics on computer screens around the world.
