Trademark and Unfair Competition Law

This course will introduce students to the federal Lanham Act and related statutory and common-law doctrines designed to protect against consumer confusion and appropriation of commercial goodwill. The course will cover trademarks, trade dress, false advertising, and misappropriation. For each of these subjects we will discuss the policy reasons for offering protection, eligibility requirements, the prima-facie cause of action, typical affirmative defenses, and remedies.

Students will be evaluated by examination.

The American Bar Association accreditation standards require students to regularly attend the courses in which they are registered. Lewis & Clark expects students to attend classes regularly and to prepare for classes conscientiously. Specific attendance requirements may vary from course to course. Any attendance guidelines for a given class must be provided to students in a syllabus or other written document at the start of the semester. Sanctions (e.g., required withdrawal from the course, grade adjustment, and/or a failing grade) will be imposed for poor attendance.
