The question of LIKELIHOOD OF CONFUSION is the signal test to determine if a trademark infringement claim is valid. This blog is about trademark law. It's also about copyright law, free speech mostly as it relates to the Internet and legal issues related to blogging.
As for me, I'm Ron Coleman, a commercial litigator and trademark lawyer at Goetz Fitzpatrick LLP, a business law firm with offices in New York and New Jersey. I am also a writer. My work focuses on the use of intellectual property, authorized and otherwise, and especially the law of trademark and copyright on the Internet, as well as general litigation. I am also general counsel for the Media Bloggers Association. The opinions expressed here, however, are only mine, at best.

John Cox did that great caricature of me on the right navigation bar.
Now Cox & Forkum have given up editorial cartooning, to our loss. Their work together is how John’s talent came to my attention — that and a referral from Chris Muir, who can sure draw pretty girls but not, he told me, super hunky lawyers.

I’m afraid John’s right on that! He’s a good fellow; we had some beers together with Allen Forkum some years ago. I’ll be checking in on his site, excellent art.

Tsk — it was you who told me you couldn’t draw caricatures, Chris, not John!
