@design_law Love possum? Looks more like an amorous otter to me. 🦦

@emptydoors @design_law If you double dare them, then it’s double jeopardy. And I don’t think they would want to press their luck.

@marklemley @design_law IMO u need a tight Ethicon plainly dissimilar test (eg square vs triangle concept fallacy), w/ common sense but maybe even “I’ve never seen a futuristic truck before,” else it’s an inappropriate proxy for SJ invalidity. Tesla has great lawyers, just missed the lead off home run

@TrademarkBlog FWIW, this was a hockey game. Michigan v. Michigan State, I think. I was there. They were trying to have the largest attendance ever for a hockey game. Let’s just say they embellished about as much as a 44e ITU claim.

@design_law I wonder if CMI will be part of the forthcoming DMCA reform legislation...

@design_law @aipla She’s one of the best!

@design_law I think that’s where Kitsch is going with the new argument. Also, wouldn’t it be fun to hypothesize that the Kitsch stripes are protectable trade dress, and that per Columbia, SJ of nonfringement is warranted?

@design_law Interesting. The judge seemed to shut the door on limiting to “noise reducing,” but didn’t lock it (“particularly at this stage...”). Did you infer from the new argument that Kitsch may try to invalidate with non-analogous art? To me, that has more heft going forward.
