New SUPPLEMENT! Products Comparison Manual for Trademark Users, THIRD Edition, with 2014 SUPPLEMENT AND CD-ROM 2013/2,100 pp. Hardcover with 2014 Supplement Order #9515P/$495.00 2014 Supplement only ISBN 978-1-61746-515-4 Order #2515/$255.00 By Francis M. Pinckney David R. Higgins, Contributing Author More than 83,000 product comparisons with cites to USPQ, unpublished TTAB decisions, and TTAB proceeding numbers :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: One of the biggest problems facing trademark attorneys who deal with selecting new trademarks, prosecuting trademark applications in the Patent and Trademark Office (PTO), or litigating trademark rights is determining whether a client’s mark used to identify a particular product might be “confusingly similar” to another mark used to identify other products. Products Comparison Manual for Trademark Users guides practitioners through both the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board’s (TTAB) and the courts’ findings on similarity of products for trademark uses—and it has been for more than two decades. This handy reference makes 84 years of Board decisions readily accessible to practitioners for use in trademark infringement proceedings and for trademark registration matters. The Third Edition together with the 2014 Supplement contains more than 83,000 product comparisons, decided by the courts and TTAB. It also includes citations for every comparison, making it easy to find decisions on the PTO website or in Bloomberg BNA’s U.S. Patents Quarterly. To help practitioners conduct the most complete search possible of similar products, the authors have analyzed the findings of the courts and/or the Board in order to impose editorial uniformity on the descriptions of products listed in the cases and have assigned U.S. Class numbers to each product. The Third Edition covers TTAB proceedings through December 31, 2012, including 3,300 comparisons from that year alone. The 2014 Supplement covers TTAB proceedings through December 31, 2013, and contains 3,100 new comparisons. The accompanying CD-ROM fully incorporates the new data from each annual update into the Third Edition, providing one seamless data file spanning 84 years of TTAB action. Virtually all of the product comparisons are provided on the CD-ROM, allowing for electronic searching and linking, in most cases, to the full text decisions either on the PTO’s TTAB Decisions website or, for Bloomberg BNA subscribers, on the IP Law Resource Center. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> SUMMARY OF CONTENTS • Preface • Introduction • How to Use This Book • List of Abbreviations • Finder Index of U.S. Classes in Appendix • List of Products Compared • Appendix: Listing of All Products/Services Under U.S. Classes • U.S. Classes about the authors Francis M.

Products Comparison Manual for Trademark Users, THIRD Edition, with 2014 SUPPLEMENT AND CD-ROM >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> How To Use The Manual A client has developed computer software specifically for pharmacists and wants to name the product “MedFind”. A search confirms that MEDFIND is a registered trademark, but it is registered for an ultrasound machine. Five questions immediately come to mind: 1. Are computer software and a diagnostic apparatus so closely related as to cause confusion? 2. Have the courts or the Board compared these products for trademark purposes? 3. Were they held similar or dissimilar? 4. What is the citation number so that the decisions can be located in United States Patents Quarterly or on the PTO website? 5. How should you advise your client?

SECONDARY TRADEMARK INFRINGEMENT By Jane Coleman and Griffith B. Price, Jr. Thorough analysis and guidancE in this rapidly growing area of intellectual property law ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Secondary Trademark Infringement is the first and only work that provides a comprehensive treatment of the law of contributory and vicarious trademark infringement, combining in-depth examination of the case law with expert practical insights into litigating secondary liability cases. Beginning with the early “passing off” cases, this treatise covers the development of the law that has become one of the most rapidly expanding areas involving the Internet. Meticulously organized and accessible, Secondary Trademark Infringement covers key topics in the field, such as: 2013/632 pp. Hardcover ISBN 978-1-61746-271-9 Order #2271/$285.00 > > Infringement liability of businesses that offer Internet facilities to third parties using trademarks or trademark-protected goods in commerce, including retailers, auctioneers, and distributors > > Company exposure to liability for the online activities of their hosting customers or advertisers > > Legal issues arising from Web-hosting, other Internet infrastructure, or connectivity > > Exposure reduction measures for companies and institutions that do not use or facilitate trademark use directly but are part of a commercial chain of activity This new reference features extensive and detailed case law, analysis, commentary, and practice notes on a wide variety of subjects of practical interest and importance to attorneys and business executives alike. These practice notes provide commentary and guidance, based on real-world litigation experience, about the substantive and procedural issues in secondary trademark infringement cases (from both the trademark owner’s and the accused infringer’s point of view), recovery of damages and injunctive relief, and guidelines for trademark protection and enforcement, as well as risk management for Internet service providers and other service providers. Secondary Trademark Infringement addresses developing areas of law, including: corporate officers’ liability for the trademark infringement of their companies; whether each “subspecies” of trademark infringement should be governed by the same secondary liability standard; the relationship between secondary trademark and secondary copyright infringement; secondary liability for trademark infringement on the Internet,including keyword advertising cases; damages for contributory trademark infringement; and contributory trademark dilution and contributory cybersquatting. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> “The book is logically and meticulously well-organized and easy to read and use as a reference.
