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.

I am also general counsel for the Media Bloggers Association. The opinions expressed here, however, are only mine, at best.
