Who Cares About The 85 Percent? Reconsidering Survey Evidence Of Online Confusion In Trademark Cases, Daniel Gervais, Julie M. Latsko Sep 2014

Who Cares About The 85 Percent? Reconsidering Survey Evidence Of Online Confusion In Trademark Cases, Daniel Gervais, Julie M. Latsko

Daniel J Gervais

There is an assumption in US trademark law that the protection of consumer interests—a traditional normative pillar of trademark law--is best achieved by enjoining use by a defendant of a mark that creates a likelihood of confusion (with the plaintiff’s mark) for 15% or more (sometimes less) of relevant consumers.

St. Mary's Journal on Legal Malpractice & Ethics

Since the early 1990s, when David Wilkins published his influential paper “Who Should Govern Lawyers” in the Harvard Law Review, legal ethics scholars and professors have paid attention to the range of processes and devices that govern lawyer behavior. This Article will report on the results of a study currently underway that seeks to provide empirical evidence to answer the question posed in this Article’s title: Do lawyers train staff in confidentiality preservation because they fear bar discipline? Because they fear malpractice liability? Because they must comply with malpractice liability carrier demands? Because they honor client confidences for their own …
