Commercial, Trademark and Free Speech Litigation

https://youtu.be/iC2nZPc_THs

The Title, the Blog and the Blogger

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 legal issues related to blogging. That may sound like a lot, but it's just a blog.

ron-coleman-lawyerAs for me, I'm Ron Coleman, a commercial litigator and a partner in the Dhillon Law Group with a special interest in copyright and trademark law and free speech. I was also the lead lawyer for The Slants, The Band Who Must Not be Named.
