This article analyzes the legal issues faced by a company in this situation. First, it explores the existing tension at the intersection of bankruptcy and trademark law, then discusses the three approaches courts have taken to resolving this tension. It concludes with the proposal that only one of these approaches appropriately balances the competing interests at stake.

Student Articles and Papers

On June 1, 2008, the Chinese government enacted a nationwide policy prohibiting all stores from freely distributing plastic bags to customers.
