Abstract After Deng Xiaoping's reform and opening up policy in 1978, China recorded an annual average growth rate of 9.67 percent in China. This is
approximately three times higher than the average annual growth rate of global economy which is 3.3% within the same period. Past 29 years, due to
rapid growth rate, China ranked the 2nd in trade volume and size of economy. However, many side effects are appeared due to the rapid economic

The Apple Vs. Samsung War
The Apple vs. Samsung War
This paper will give us an overview of the patent infringement war between the world's two biggest smartphone makers – Apple Inc. and Samsung. For
the last three years, these two technology giants have clashed on a scale unheard of in the history of the business world, their licit war costing more
than a billion dollars and spanning four continents. For the purpose of this paper, I will go back to where the Apple vs. Samsung saga began, back in

Apple claimed that there were four types of infringements to its protectable intellectual property –
1. Some Trade dress infringements on the look and packaging of the iPhone and iPads – Trade dress is a product's physical appearance (size, shape,
design, color and feel). It also includes the way it has been packaged or wrapped, presented, promoted or advertised. Trade dress infringement is
basically making the trade dress of two businesses sufficiently similar, confusing consumers about what they are buying. To establish a claim for trade
dress a business must prove the uniqueness of its product's appearance.
2. Several Trademark infringements on the iOS system app icons – A trademark is a name, design or symbol or even a combination of the three used to
identify and distinguish one manufacturer's or seller's goods from the others'.
It can be registered with the state or the federal government which protects the owner from infringement or copying. When a trademark is used by
another person or organization either substantially or entirely, it gives the owner the right to cause of action against the infringer. In order to succeed in
a trademark infringement action, the owner must show that the use of the mark created confusion about the origin of the defendant's product. If the

1/ For starting a small business with Roberto, I strongly believe our business organization will be following to Limited Liability company, LLC,
which can be advantageous for providing protection to partners and investors. Both of us have equal rights to manage and have agency to contract
for the company. Because of having the first small business together, our business organization do not allow for public offerings and stock sales that
we can be easy to control. Also, we have to find one of the best farm for giving the milk, egg, and others organic supplies to make our products which
means we need to sign a contract with them for every month.
2/ In my opinion, if we want to start this business, based on Georgia law, we would involve and be sued in trademark infringement law by using the
name and logo of another company. The trademark infringement is the using of another's mark without authorization or permission of the
trademark owner. Although they are not cheese package, they have name and logo that look same with cheese package logo. Therefore, they are
easy to cause customer to become confused about the products. If we keep choosing their name and logo, we should buy franchise from their
companies. However, we will not start this business on this way. Instead of using name and logo of the laughing cow company, we will choose our

Warner Bros Fair Use Doctrine
The protection of intellectual property is important and necessary in order to promote progress. The idea is that by trading exclusive rights to the
creators of inventions and creative works in exchange that the creative work or invention to be available to the public is mutually beneficial to both the
rights holder and society in general. By granting these rights, the creators and owners are able to benefit both socially and financially from that which
they created. This provides an incentive for people to pursue the creation of and the investment in intellectual property. There are however limits to the

rejected. The court found that it was implausible that a reasonable person would go to the fictitious website and believe that the product there was
created and marketed by Fortres Grand. Conversely, it was equally implausible that anyone going to the Fortres Grand website would believe that
the products there were produced by Warner Bros. As a result of this finding, the courts did not need to go any further to address any First
Amendment or Fair Use issues. The court further found that the use of the term "the clean slate" in the movie was not a trademark infringement.
They found that the term is too broad in its meaning or application for its use to be restricted in other endeavors such as the movie. It seems that
what Fortres Grand was really concerned about was trademark dilution. The claim would be that the use of "the clean slate" in its movies and on the
promotional website would damage the "Clean Slate" mark and make it less appealing to consumers. This would only be valid if the mark was
considered famous which Fortres Grand knew would not be the case with their "Clean Slate" program. This is probably why they chose to purse the

Intellectual Property Concepts: Patents, Trade Mark, Trade Secret and Copyright
The modern economy is principally technology–driven. Technology products are normally creations of the mind. They entail unique techniques,
products, or brands. In order to protect their own investment, entrepreneurs need to safeguard these creations because they are intellectual property.
Intellectual property is the mind's product, but can be manifested physically. Therefore, its concept behind it can be copied or transferred. These
concepts need to be protected by law. There are four major kinds of intellectually property, all which have some legal protection. These include patents,

They also indicate sponsorship and authorization. They also differentiate a company's products from those of competitors. Trademarks also show value
and image as an effort to create a notion of quality or uniqueness in the mind of the customer.Trademark infringement takes place when there is chance
of confusion between two products or services offered by different companies (Knudson, 2006). Trademarks are usually a crucial element of company's
marketing strategy and therefore need to be selected carefully and safeguarded consistently against all possible violators. Copyrights are used in
protection of artistic works like books, plays, films, music, paintings, or computer software. Copyright infringement entails use of such works either in
part of whole without prior permission of their owners, or without acknowledging the source (Knudson, 2006). Trade secret refers to any intellectual
property that grants its holder a competitive edge over the competitors. It includes any information which may in from of a formula, pattern,
compilation, program, technique, process that derives sovereign economic value from not being known. Unlike patents which protect the original
inventor regardless of the source of subsequent inventions, trade secrets are not safeguarded (Knudson, 2006). Further, a person can dismantle a
product in order to uncover a trade secret without infringement through a process known as reverse engineering. However,

Snow White v. Cinderella
A company could infringe on a trademark without even knowing it. Trademark infringement shows up regularly in the business world. Not every
company, however, will seek legal action each time this happens, others do pursue it quite regularly. "The Court ruled that the public would not be
deceived or led to believe that the Defendants' goods were made by the Plaintiffs, because the parties did not share a common field of trading activity
as the Plaintiffs' reputation was limited to slippers." As a result of this, I believe that the Court's decision was unfair when they declined to grant an
injunction based on the grounds that a member of the general population would not be misguided or convinced that the Defendants' merchandise was
made by the Plaintiffs.
Another example of this is the case of Converse and Wal–Mart's trademark–infringement saga. Wal–Mart decided to seek an injunction on the maker of
the Chuck Taylor All–Star sneaker. Many other brands have chosen to settle which include Ralph Lauren and Aldo. Wal

FACTS & CASE HISTORY:
The Whirlpool Corporation ("Respondent 1"), is a multi–national company incorporated in U.S.A under the laws of the State of Delaware. TVS
Whirlpool Ltd. ("Respondent 2") is a private limited company incorporated in India in which the Respondent 1 is a majority shareholder. Respondent 1

Defining Infringement Of Trademark Rights
2.Trademarks
Trademarks will include names or marks that are associated with Snapdeal's products and services. While trademark rights are acquired by use,
registering the company's trademark with the Indian government Intellectual Property Office will enhance its rights. A trademark is typically a name,
word, phrase, logo, symbol, design, image, or a combination of these.
Clearly, it is notable that website content can infringe on trademark rights. The similarity of the marks and the similarity of the goods or services are
important factors in assessing infringement of trademark rights. If Snapdeal has a unique name for its business or product then the company should
seek advice from an experienced trademark lawyer. Internet trademark use that is lawful in the website owner's jurisdiction may infringe trademark
rights in other jurisdictions.
The following are some measures that Snapdeal may consider to protect trademarks on the Internet.
Ensure that the Internet been searched for the trademark Snapdeal intends to use. It will be wise to conduct this search before registering and using
domain names.
Snapdeal should consider using and registering its domain name as a trademark. This will help the company support a claim of trademark rights if
someone challenges its use of a particular trademark. Registrations should be made in as many common domains as possible (e.g. .com, .ca, .org, .net).

copyright is important issue. Basically, if someone violates one of the five exclusive rights given to copyright owner by the Copyright Act , it is
considered as a copyright infringement. These include the right to reproduce a work, the right to develop derivative works, the right to publicly display

copyright is an especially essential issue in several web sites of search engines such as Yahoo and Bing, and Google. In the case of both Yahoo and

Ok so in this paper I will be looking at the Simply Green Product brand and seeing what can be done with their company as far as their patenting and
packaging of their product SafePac. So there is a lot of information that will be covered here. Also we have to look at the time frame that SGB was

Because there is already a mark that is listed by the USPTO. This mark was first used in 2002 which is 6 years to the senior of SafePac, and SGP.
Because of its seniority they have a claim to it and it would add a little confusion if SGP would to market it. Because there would then be two
products out there with the same name, possibly cost some business for both companies. Here there would be a minor hit on the Lanham act, which
was put into place to protect legit business, so that they can keep using their ideas, and investments. The reason why I say that is a minor hit is
because even not knowing that this was already in use they have a responsibility to the preexisting company and name of their product. Even though
there is no completion, and they are two separate spectrums of services. Still the idea was first thought of by Safe Choice.

Is Markt at risk and liable to NeemMiracle with respect to Trade Mark infringement, passing off, misleading or deceptive conduct?
No Trade Mark infringement for two reasons;
a)The mark or 'get up' being used by Markt only similar in colour and not necessarily name, the word 'neem' may be argued to be descriptive. and
b)NeemMiracle has not registered the trademark in either Australia or New Zealand.
There may be a case for passing off under common law and/or misleading and deceptive conduct under S 18 ACL . An action in passing off deals
only with misrepresentation, for an action in passing off to be successful we can refer to the "classical trinity". In the Jiff Lemon Case Lord Oliver
set out three tests for an action in passing off to be met. 'The "classical trinity" has been used as a touchstone for passing off. '
It can be argued that the 'getup' of the Mira–Neem product(s) is adopting a similar style or mark to NeemMiracle with respect to choice of colour, font
and naming of the product; further argued that the confusing labelling of the product without any disclaimer may misrepresent the Mira–Neem product

The Trade Of Counterfeit Products Essay
Abstract:
India is a one of the key markets of counterfeit products in South Asia which has negatively affected its economy since many years. The trade of
counterfeit and pirated products hamper the development of knowledge and innovation as it can greatly reduce the economic benefits for the original
creator of products. Widespread and rampant piracy and weak intellectual property rights (IPR) dilutes the development of local industry and also
endangers the huge investments made in research and development work of organizations. This can lead to loss of competitive advantage as the
competitiveness of firms is driven by the firm's ability to innovate and create new products churned from its knowledge capital. Counterfeiting and
piracy can exist in the market from within or due to imports from a foreign market but flourishing or controlling of it can be understood majorly by
understanding the attitude of Indian consumers towards purchase of counterfeit and pirated products. The studies so far particularly considering IPR
infringements have been skewed towards Pharmaceuticals, Entertainment and Information Technology. This paper attempts to investigate and
understand the Indian consumers' awareness of IPR infringements and their attitudes and intention towards purchase of Home Appliances based on
psychographic and demographic factors.

design for his campaign that looked very similar to a Hershey's chocolate bar wrapper. The background was brown, the lettering was white, and the
font was bolded in all capital letters. In 2010, Steve Hershey used a design that looked even more similar to a Hershey's chocolate bar wrapper than

Views on intellectual property vary from the belief that that intellectual property should be protected, to the view that ideas should be completely
unrestricted and free to use. Thomas Jefferson believed that ideas had the right to be shared, saying:
"If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, which
an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession of everyone,
and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it. Its peculiar character, too, is that no one possesses the less, because every other possesses the whole
of it. He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without
darkening me. That ideas should freely spread from one to another over the globe, for the moral and mutual instruction of man, and improvement of his
condition, seems to have been peculiarly and benevolently designed by nature, when she made them, like fire, expansible over all space, without
lessening their density in any point, and like the air in which we breathe, move, and have our physical being, incapable of confinement or exclusive

doing business with its logo, and as a result sent NBFP a "cease–and desist letter." In such letter, Ford demanded NBFP to pay $5000 for damages and
to stop commercializing with the Fords Logo. Instead of abiding to Ford's demand, NBFP decided to sue Ford in a Texas State Court looking for a

Trademark infringement is a growing concern to businesses that has caused disruptions in both local and international trade. Infringement is the
violation of intellectual property rights in which violators take organizations/individuals ideas (trademark) and market them as their own. Another form
of intellectual property is copyright that protects people's creating expressions. In the case of infringement and copyrights, the accuser can file a claim
against the alleged group/individual for using their trademark or ideas. If they are convicted then they'll be required to pay reimbursements for damages

isn't just a problem here in the U.S., but international as well. The only difference being that it is harder to enforce these rules and regulations and to
resolve these issues when each country has their own. Although there are standards that are enforced by most industrialized nations there are no fully
international property rights and countries don't always interpret and enforce intellectual property right with the same standards. This problem could be
addressed by setting international rules and regulations that could be used to address more of specific issues then the basics that are covered in the

What Is A Logo?
What is a logo? In today's world, it is very important for organizations to protect their intellectual property, otherwise known as creations or
inventions, literary or artistic works, symbols and designs, and names and images usually for the purpose of commerce. Intellectual property (IP) is
protected in law by trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, and patents that provide recognition of their security. A logo is a symbol, design, or graphic
that is affiliated with a brand, company, or organization to identify a source of goods.
Copyright vs. Trademark Logos belong in their own category of IP, where there is a grey area of what means of protection is necessary, somewhere
between copyright and trademark. Businesses are known to use both to protect such logos. Companies that provide services for logos, branding, and
merchandising from a third party standard often feel the ramifications of misusing their customer's logos for their own marketing purposes. Copyright
and trademark infringement are among the most common types of marketing misuse. There is often confusion between using protections with
copyrights versus trademarks. A copyright protects an original work of authorship fixed in a tangible medium of expression. However, a trademark
protects sources, including words, symbols, smells, pictures, and sounds, that are used to identify the source of goods and distinguish them from goods
sold by others (Harazin 2012). Generally speaking, when most people think of

business. Everyone understands what stealing means, but forgets you are stealing when you take a business's logo, name, trademark, or identity.
Stealing does not have to be a physical object that belongs to a business. It can be something that they have created such as a song or product. This
paper will talk about the importance of protecting businesses by using patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, and businesses property rights.
Patents
The United States Patent Office is where companies or individuals can file documents to obtain a legal monopoly for a product or process that they
have created (Jennings, 2015). Three types of patents include utility or machines lasting 20 years, the design, or production that lasts 14 years, and
plant that lasts 20 years. Because of the race to be the first person to invent or create a product the America Invents Act (AIA) came about in 2011.
This allowed Americans to compete with other countries that had filed before them as well as increase the patent process from 3 to 4 years to 12
months. A patent holder has the right to solely profit from the patent. If someone steals the idea the individual has created then they have done a patent

the second advantage is the freedom in developing or changing the idea, the third advantage is the potential to lead the competition because of being
the first competitor or first seller, but still indeed the movement in some markets is so fast that the intellectual property or in other words the IP is not
worth the wait. There are three disadvantages of the intellectual property in general; firstly, the usage of the idea which was developed by the person

property will be rewarded. The first type of intellectual property is patents which have some advantages and disadvantages; the first advantage is the
patent banns legally anyone other than the inventor from using the invention, the second advantage is that only the existence of the patent destroys the
competitors, the third advantage is that the patent last twenty years which is an enough time for the inventor to make and develop his/her market with

Since the design in the fashion industry rarely creates a new process, machine or manufactures, they have a separate statute specifically for them for
new, original and ornamental design for an article of manufacture. Trade dress protection is addressed under the Lanham Act to defend the design and
appearance of the product as well as that of the container and all elements making up the total visual image by which the product is presented to
customers. Colors have also been addressed under the Trade dress protection in which the United States Supreme Court has stated that the color and
designs of a product are only protected under the Lanham Act if a secondary meaning has been demonstrated. Color and design must be associated by
the customer for that particular product over time.
In 2004, the legal team decided to advance with option 4: Trademark protection. They claimed trademark infringement, trademark dilution, as well as
unfair competition and false designation. Trademark infringement harbors a manufacturer or seller's product to include a word, slogan or symbol. For

commercial returns.
There are three criteria for an invention to be patentable. The first criteria is New. The invention should not be publicly known in anyway or anywhere
around the world. The owners of invention should be careful in keeping the invention as secret until a patent application has been successfully made. If
the idea has already been commercially exploited, demonstrated or advertised, the novelty of it may be compromised. If the invention requires
disclosure to a third party before the patent application is made, a non–disclosure agreement should be drawn up.

Business Analysis : Louis Vuitton Essay
You finally bought what you have been wanting for so long, a Louis Vuitton monogram "never full" tote. You have been comparing prices at different
boutiques and department stores for months, until you saw a deal on eBay where the bag is listed for $640 – a new Louis Vuitton "never full" tote
usually costs $1720. After missing several deals, you secured the auction for $890 with free shipping provided. The bag arrived a week later, and you
began to doubt whether it is genuine leather handmade by French craftsmen as Louis Vuitton promised.
According to Louis Vuitton's parent company, French luxury goods maker MoГ«t Hennessy, 90 percent of the Louis Vuitton bags sold on eBay are
fakes (Carvajal). However, the auction site is by no means at fault for the knockoffs and should not be held liable for the counterfeit luxury goods sold
on its website.
Hundreds of millions of dollars transactions are made on eBay everyday. Yet, being simply a conduit for all these businesses, eBay should not be
deemed responsible and, indeed, has no control over every single deal between sellers and buyers. In this arena created by the auction house, global
sellers and buyers negotiate on purchases freely and are asked by the website to carry out the transactions themselves. As the US district court
concluded following the first–ever trademark infringement lawsuit filed by Tiffany & Co. against the auction website, while eBay "provides the venue

For the last three years, these two technology giants have clashed on a scale unheard of in the history of the business world, their licit war costing more than a billion dollars and spanning four continents. For the purpose of this paper, I will go back to where the Apple vs. Samsung saga began, back in April 2011. The main objective of this paper is to analyze the different types of intellectual property infringements that had been claimed by Apple Inc. against Samsung Electronics Co.

Some Trade dress infringements on the look and packaging of the iPhone and iPads – Trade dress is a product's physical appearance (size, shape, design, color and feel). It also includes the way it has been packaged or wrapped, presented, promoted or advertised. Trade dress infringement is basically making the trade dress of two businesses sufficiently similar, confusing consumers about what they are buying. To establish a claim for trade dress a business must prove the uniqueness of its product's appearance. 2. Several Trademark infringements on the iOS system app icons – A trademark is a name, design or symbol or even a combination of the three used to identify and distinguish one manufacturer's or seller's goods from the others'. It can be registered with the state or the federal government which protects the owner from infringement or copying. When a trademark is used by another person or organization either substantially or entirely, it gives the owner the right to cause of action against the infringer. In order to succeed in a trademark infringement action, the owner must show that the use of the mark created confusion about the origin of the defendant's product. If the owner successfully proves infringement, the usual course of action in such ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 3. Legal Research Of A Small Business With Roberto Legal Research paper 1/ For starting a small business with Roberto, I strongly believe our business organization will be following to Limited Liability company, LLC, which can be advantageous for providing protection to partners and investors. Both of us have equal rights to manage and have agency to contract for the company. Because of having the first small business together, our business organization do not allow for public offerings and stock sales that we can be easy to control. Also, we have to find one of the best farm for giving the milk, egg, and others organic supplies to make our products which means we need to sign a contract with them for every month. 2/ In my opinion, if we want to start this business, based on Georgia law, we would involve and be sued in trademark infringement law by using the name and logo of another company. The trademark infringement is the using of another's mark without authorization or permission of the trademark owner. Although they are not cheese package, they have name and logo that look same with cheese package logo. Therefore, they are easy to cause customer to become confused about the products. If we keep choosing their name and logo, we should buy franchise from their companies. However, we will not start this business on this way. Instead of using name and logo of the laughing cow company, we will choose our name and logo differently such as our name will be "I dream of ice creams" and the logo will be "An ice cream into a ...

The idea is that by trading exclusive rights to the creators of inventions and creative works in exchange that the creative work or invention to be available to the public is mutually beneficial to both the rights holder and society in general. By granting these rights, the creators and owners are able to benefit both socially and financially from that which they created.

At both the district court level and at the 7th Circuit of Appeals, this argument was rejected. The court found that it was implausible that a reasonable person would go to the fictitious website and believe that the product there was created and marketed by Fortres Grand. Conversely, it was equally implausible that anyone going to the Fortres Grand website would believe that the products there were produced by Warner Bros. As a result of this finding, the courts did not need to go any further to address any First Amendment or Fair Use issues. The court further found that the use of the term "the clean slate" in the movie was not a trademark infringement. They found that the term is too broad in its meaning or application for its use to be restricted in other endeavors such as the movie. It seems that what Fortres Grand was really concerned about was trademark dilution. The claim would be that the use of "the clean slate" in its movies and on the promotional website would damage the "Clean Slate" mark and make it less appealing to consumers. This would only be valid if the mark was considered famous which Fortres Grand knew would not be the case with their "Clean Slate" program. This is probably why they chose to purse the claim of consumer confusion instead of trademark ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

They also indicate sponsorship and authorization. They also differentiate a company's products from those of competitors. Trademarks also show value and image as an effort to create a notion of quality or uniqueness in the mind of the customer.Trademark infringement takes place when there is chance of confusion between two products or services offered by different companies (Knudson, 2006). Trademarks are usually a crucial element of company's marketing strategy and therefore need to be selected carefully and safeguarded consistently against all possible violators. Copyrights are used in protection of artistic works like books, plays, films, music, paintings, or computer software. Copyright infringement entails use of such works either in part of whole without prior permission of their owners, or without acknowledging the source (Knudson, 2006). Trade secret refers to any intellectual property that grants its holder a competitive edge over the competitors. It includes any information which may in from of a formula, pattern, compilation, program, technique, process that derives sovereign economic value from not being known.

  • 6. Case Analysis : Snow White Vs. Cinderella Mike Gaffney BUL3130 Professor High 10/16/2017 Snow White v. Cinderella A company could infringe on a trademark without even knowing it. Trademark infringement shows up regularly in the business world. Not every company, however, will seek legal action each time this happens, others do pursue it quite regularly. "The Court ruled that the public would not be deceived or led to believe that the Defendants' goods were made by the Plaintiffs, because the parties did not share a common field of trading activity as the Plaintiffs' reputation was limited to slippers." As a result of this, I believe that the Court's decision was unfair when they declined to grant an injunction based on the grounds that a member of the general population would not be misguided or convinced that the Defendants' merchandise was made by the Plaintiffs. Another example of this is the case of Converse and Wal–Mart's trademark–infringement saga. Wal–Mart decided to seek an injunction on the maker of the Chuck Taylor All–Star sneaker. Many other brands have chosen to settle which include Ralph Lauren and Aldo. Wal –Mart, however filed a complaint on Monday against Nike owned Converse with the International Trade Commission. "In the filing, Wal–Mart argues that the toe caps, toe bumpers and stripes that Converse claims to own are "actually or aesthetically functional" and therefore "they are not subject to trademark protection.""

  • 8. Defining Infringement Of Trademark Rights 2.Trademarks Trademarks will include names or marks that are associated with Snapdeal's products and services. While trademark rights are acquired by use, registering the company's trademark with the Indian government Intellectual Property Office will enhance its rights. A trademark is typically a name, word, phrase, logo, symbol, design, image, or a combination of these. Clearly, it is notable that website content can infringe on trademark rights. The similarity of the marks and the similarity of the goods or services are important factors in assessing infringement of trademark rights. If Snapdeal has a unique name for its business or product then the company should seek advice from an experienced trademark lawyer. Internet trademark use that is lawful in the website owner's jurisdiction may infringe trademark rights in other jurisdictions. The following are some measures that Snapdeal may consider to protect trademarks on the Internet. Ensure that the Internet been searched for the trademark Snapdeal intends to use. It will be wise to conduct this search before registering and using domain names. Snapdeal should consider using and registering its domain name as a trademark. This will help the company support a claim of trademark rights if someone challenges its use of a particular trademark.

So there is a lot of information that will be covered here. Also we have to look at the time frame that SGB was using the SafePac logo, on their equipment. The other thing is that we have to look at the trademark and the other laws that incorporate trademarks and patents. So listed below is the topics that I would like to discuss briefly. 1.Deciding if SGP can register their product name as a trademark. 2.Would the Trademark Dilution Revision Act be violated if the USTPO granted the trademark on SafePac? 3.Tell whether or not the anticyber squatting consumer protection act would be violated by the use of SafePac.com 4.Tell how your resolution ...

Because of its seniority they have a claim to it and it would add a little confusion if SGP would to market it. Because there would then be two products out there with the same name, possibly cost some business for both companies. Here there would be a minor hit on the Lanham act, which was put into place to protect legit business, so that they can keep using their ideas, and investments. The reason why I say that is a minor hit is because even not knowing that this was already in use they have a responsibility to the preexisting company and name of their product. Even though there is no completion, and they are two separate spectrums of services. Still the idea was first thought of by Safe Choice.

Without protection, firm's products and services could be imitated then sell from competitors, leading confusion to customers and revenue lost. That is why it is essential for firms to have their brand protected at early stage as that will secure their growing brand and protect them from competition. Once firms establish trademark for their brand, they can fight infringement of their brand through the court system like the case of Pepperidge Farm vs. Trader Joe's for the Milano cookie imitation.

Is Markt at risk and liable to NeemMiracle with respect to Trade Mark infringement, passing off, misleading or deceptive conduct? No Trade Mark infringement for two reasons; a)The mark or 'get up' being used by Markt only similar in colour and not necessarily name, the word 'neem' may be argued to be descriptive. and b)NeemMiracle has not registered the trademark in either Australia or New Zealand. There may be a case for passing off under common law and/or misleading and deceptive conduct under S 18 ACL . An action in passing off deals only with misrepresentation, for an action in passing off to be successful we can refer to the "classical trinity".

' It can be argued that the 'getup' of the Mira–Neem product(s) is adopting a similar style or mark to NeemMiracle with respect to choice of colour, font and naming of the product; further argued that the confusing labelling of the product without any disclaimer may misrepresent the Mira–Neem product as part of the products currently produced and marketed by NeemMiracle.

In today's world, it is very important for organizations to protect their intellectual property, otherwise known as creations or inventions, literary or artistic works, symbols and designs, and names and images usually for the purpose of commerce. Intellectual property (IP) is protected in law by trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, and patents that provide recognition of their security. A logo is a symbol, design, or graphic that is affiliated with a brand, company, or organization to identify a source of goods. Copyright vs. Trademark Logos belong in their own category of IP, where there is a grey area of what means of protection is necessary, somewhere between copyright and trademark.
