Summary

This law school casebook's coverage includes trademark dilution, trademark usage on the World Wide Web, and extensive materials on trademark remedies and affirmative defenses. Notes follow the principal cases, which are designed to alert students to collateral issues, to cite key resources in the legal literature, and to raise thought-provoking questions. The book contains citations to the relatively new Restatement (Third) of Unfair Competition, and McCarthy on Trademarks. It also features illustrations, which will increase students' appreciation of the key issues at stake in many of the cases.
