Trade Dress Infringement In Orange County

Trade dress infringement is a subset of trademark infringement. “Trade dress” refers to the look and feel of a product, or its packaging. To recover for trade dress infringement, a plaintiff must prove that its trade dress is protectable and that the competitor’s use of the same, or similar trade dress is likely to confuse consumers. Trade dress cases are not limited to products and packaging. In one case, a Federal Court of Appeals concluded that a restaurant’s decor, menu, layout, and style of service may acquire source-distinguishing aspects of protectable trade dress.

Strategic planning and careful analysis of the applicable laws are essential components of prosecuting and defending trade dress cases. Klein & Wilson has significant case results in this area of the law.
