Sellout!

Ron Coleman May 19, 2006 0 Comments

Yes, we’ve added Google ads (o’er on the right side). We generate a decent amount of traffic here, especially off searches relating to trademark law, and especially one very special…

The question of whether consumers are likely to be confused is the signal inquiry that determines if a trademark infringement claim is valid. I write here about trademark law, copyright law, brands, free speech (mostly as it relates to the Internet and social media). That may sound like a lot, but it's just a blog.

This is attorney advertising. Lawyer Ronald D. Coleman is admitted to practice in New York and New Jersey.
