This picture, from two years ago this month, links to one of the most popular blog posts on LIKELIHOOD OF CONFUSION®. It’s probably linked to numerous health risks as well, but you buys your sandwich, you takes your chances — and your cholesterol, your calories …. (Here’s Subway’s take on that, by the way.)
Yummy, too, I bet, besides spiritually gratifiying. I just haven’t yet had the chance to try it out. Here’s an update on the Subway kosher project; more here.
The question of whether consumers are likely to be confused is the signal inquiry that determines if a trademark infringement claim is valid. This blog is about trademark law, copyright law, free speech (mostly as it relates to the Internet) and legal issues related to blogging.
As for me, I'm a partner and commercial litigator at Goetz Fitzpatrick LLP in New York and, some say, "IP maven" with a special interest in copyright and trademark infringement involving the Internet--including advising clients how to avoid them.

If you want to read something terrific, Matthew David Brozik's website is the place to spend time. Sometimes, however -- now, on a regular basis -- he saves something for LIKELIHOOD OF CONFUSION®.
Besides being an actual writer, Matthew is also an actual lawyer, his intellectual property law bibliography not being for nothing.
I’m high-ranked and I know it.
Is LIKELIHOOD OF CONFUSION® really all that? Rankings-wise? Is it really one of the top law blogs in the galaxy?
It is, for what that's worth.
As of right now, here are the latest rankings via:
- All legal blogs on Avvo.com
- Most popular law blogs this month on Justia (sometimes)
- All IP law blogs, by popularity, on Justia
- All copyright law blogs, by popularity on Justia (whoa!)
- Alltop's law blogs and
- Cision.com's Top 50 Law Blogs
Then there's this kind of odd thing.
It's easy it is to game almost any ranking system, not that I've tried to. As such. These are just what they are.

- Shortening the Long TailInteresting review in the New Yorker this week, covering Professor Anita Elberse's book Blockbusters.
