The First Amendment Walks Into A Bar: Trademark Registration And Free Speech, Rebecca Tushnet
The First Amendment Walks Into A Bar: Trademark Registration And Free Speech, Rebecca Tushnet
Notre Dame Law Review
This Article analyzes the First Amendment arguments against section
2(a)’s disparagement bar with reference to the consequences of any
invalidation on the rest of the trademark statute. My fundamental conclusions
are that In re Tam is wrongly reasoned even given the Supreme Court’s
increased scrutiny of commercial speech regulations, and that to hold otherwise
and preserve the rest of trademark law would require unprincipled distinctions
within trademark law. More generally, the Supreme Court’s First
Amendment jurisprudence has become so expansive as to threaten basic
aspects of the regulatory state; the result of subjecting economic regulations
such as trademark registration to …

What's The Harm Of Trademark Infringement?, Rebecca Tushnet
What's The Harm Of Trademark Infringement?, Rebecca Tushnet
Akron Law Review
Abstract
Over the course of the twentieth century, judges came to accept trademark owners’ arguments that any kind of consumer confusion over their relationship to some other producer caused them actionable harm. Changes in the law of remedies, however, have recently led some courts to question these harm stories. This Article argues for even more attention to trademark’s theories of harm; a clear-eyed look at the marketing literature, as well as the facts of particular cases, indicates that confusion about non-competing products is often harmless.
Branded: Trademark Tattoos, Slave Owner Brands, And The Right To Have "Free" Skin, Shontavia Johnson
Branded: Trademark Tattoos, Slave Owner Brands, And The Right To Have "Free" Skin, Shontavia Johnson
Michigan Telecommunications & Technology Law Review
Though existing for several millennia in various cultures, body modification through tattooing is becoming more popular in the United States. Twenty percent of Americans have at least one tattoo, and among Millennials this number grows to almost forty percent. As the popularity of tattoos has increased in recent years, so too have questions revolving around concepts of intellectual property and the plausible limitations of any rights stemming therefrom. This Article addresses the implications, for both the tattooist and the tattooed, of using trademarked designations as tattoos. Neither the courts nor Congress have definitively answered the question of how traditional trademark …

Seeing Color: Implications Of The European Union's New Common Practice For Transatlantic Trademark Registration By United States Trademark Holders, Christine Park
Seattle University Law Review
This Note explores two issues related to the EU’s new common practice: (1) whether the new common practice will deter ongoing efforts to integrate trademark registration and protection at the international level; and (2) whether U.S. trademark holders, when expanding business into the EU, should register through the Madrid Protocol and obtain Community Trade Mark or register through a country’s trademark office. This Note argues that the new trademark practice hinders international efforts for standardizing trademark registration and that U.S. trademark holders should claim color when registering their marks with the EU.
Owning Red: A Theory Of Indian (Cultural) Appropriation, Angela R. Riley, Kristen A. Carpenter
Owning Red: A Theory Of Indian (Cultural) Appropriation, Angela R. Riley, Kristen A. Carpenter
Publications
In a number of recent controversies, from sports teams’ use of Indian mascots to the federal government’s desecration of sacred sites, American Indians have lodged charges of “cultural appropriation” or the unauthorized use by members of one group of the cultural expressions and resources of another. While these and other incidents make contemporary headlines, American Indians often experience these claims within a historical and continuing experience of dispossession. For hundreds of years, the U.S. legal system has sanctioned the taking and destruction of Indian lands, artifacts, bodies, religions, identities, and beliefs, all toward the project of conquest and colonization. Indian …
