Tens years of Overlawyering
July 3rd, 2009 by Ron Coleman | Print
Overlawyered turns 10. Congratulations! There was really blogging ten years ago?
I didn’t miss the anniversary. I just didn’t want to be accused of cadging for a link.

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. After you read the disclaimer below, you may click here to email me.
