As you know, CARDWARE likes to delve
into clothing styles for a wide target audience. Recently, it came up with a
name for its slogan which CARDWARE has placed on the right front of its jersey
sweaters. It also has a boomerang symbol with the words, “Just Use It.”
underneath it. The well-known athletic clothing manufacturer Nike® found out
about the Cardigans use of a slogan they claim is similar to their own and now
want to bring a lawsuit against CARDWARE Inc. Discuss whether or not Nike has a
case. Be sure to discuss the principals associated with trademark infringement
and give your opinion whether or not you think the two slogans are confusingly
similar or not.
HINT: Place phrase words such as
“Famous Legal Trade Dress” and “Slogan Infringement ” into your search engine
