Manufacturer vs. distributor – Who owns that unregistered trademark?

$225.00

SKU: IIPon171. Category: .

Description

Abstract: Manufacturers that let their distributors use their unregistered trademarks may later find themselves in a fight over the marks’ ownership. This article highlights how one federal court of appeals recently addressed such ownership disputes and adopted a different test for determining ownership of common law trademarks where there is no agreement addressing the issue. A brief sidebar reviews the defense of acquiescence in patent cases. Covertech Fabricating, Inc. v. TVM Building Products, Inc., No. 15-3893, April 18, 2017 (3d Cir.)
