Event Synopsis:
Trademarks enable consumers to exclusively identify the source of a product or service. In order to avoid consumer confusion, trademark owners are privileged to stop others from using the same or confusingly similar trademark. The owner of a trademark is the only legitimate user of the trademark. But nowadays, it has become increasingly common to see trademarks being used by third parties without the brand owner's permission. The “fair use” concept of the U.S. trademark law acknowledges instances wherein one’s use of the other’s trademark is permissible under certain conditions. Owners of trademarks should be well-versed with the “fair use” concept to better evaluate when a user’s utilization of their trademark is fair. More significantly, trademark users should be familiar with “fair use” to ensure that they don’t cross the line to infringement and, therefore, avoid a litigious future ahead.
In this two-hour live webcast, a panel thought leaders and professionals assembled by The Knowledge Group will offer the audience an in-depth discussion of the all the important issues and updates with regards to the Fair Use in Trademark Law. The speakers will also present their expert thoughts and opinion with respect to this significant topic.
