How much can I change my trademark without losing priority and who decides whether I have gone too far? That was the issue in a case decided by the U.S. Supreme Court last week which is discussed in the attached article. Similar issues arise when a trademark is used in connection with an expanded list of goods or services or when a trademark owner uses the mark in new markets.
Please call us if you would like to discuss these issues further. We would appreciate the opportunity to review with you your portfolio of trademarks to help you better understand your priority rights and how to enhance those rights.
