What Are You Looking At? Eliminating Consideration Of The General Public And The Ultimate Question In A Trade Dress Initial Interest Confusion Analysis., Paul J. Krause Jul 2004

What Are You Looking At? Eliminating Consideration Of The General Public And The Ultimate Question In A Trade Dress Initial Interest Confusion Analysis., Paul J. Krause

Marquette Intellectual Property Law Review

This comment addresses the concept of initial interest confusion in trade dress law and examines several different courts' approaches to the doctrine. Through the discussion, it becomes evident that while being careful to avoid bypassing an analysis of the likelihood of confusion factors, courts should also use the doctrine to determine confusion of potential purchasers. Failing to account for certain factors, such as the sophistication of the relevant consumer group, may allow courts to skew the likelihood of confusion factors in an initial interest confusion analysis. In sum, the author argues that courts should conduct a thorough analysis of likelihood …

Protection For Indigenous Peoples And Their Traditional Knowledge: Would A Registry System Reduce The Misappropriation Of Traditional Knowledge?, Thomas J, Krumenacher Jan 2004

Protection For Indigenous Peoples And Their Traditional Knowledge: Would A Registry System Reduce The Misappropriation Of Traditional Knowledge?, Thomas J, Krumenacher

Marquette Intellectual Property Law Review

This Comment examines the controversy over whether a registry system is the best way to prevent Western inventors from obtaining intellectual property protection for traditional knowledge that has been misappropriated from underdeveloped parts of the world. This dilemma exists because traditional knowledge often constitutes patentable subject matter, most indigenous peoples do not subscribe to a Western "property rights" view of the world, and exploitation of traditional knowledge has become easier through improved communication capabilities. This Comment argues in favor of a registry system to catalog traditional knowledge; patent examiners would deny patent protection to any invention that replicates traditional knowledge. …
