Subject: HOFFMAN'S NEW ARTICLE: FAIR USE OF TRADEMARKS
As I previously mentioned, I will again be teaching 'Protecting and
Exploiting Intellectual Property Rights' (formerly called
'Intellectual Property Law') at UCLA Extension starting in
January. If you are in the local area, this is an excellent
opportunity to get a broad overview of this complex area of the
law. If you want further information, email me.
The 'Pycnogenol' case continues to rattle around the Federal courts
and the Ninth Circuit has recently ruled, for the second time, on
trademark and dilution claims in regard to this mark. It is an
interesting case and I have revised my prior article called 'Fair Use
of Trademarks: Further Issues' to reflect the latest decision from the Court.
