American University Law Review

Susan B. Flohr, Emily J. Barnhart, and John Paul Oleksiuk, members of Blank Rome’s intellectual property and technology practice group, co-authored an article containing summaries and analysis of each of the trademark law decisions issued by the Federal Circuit in 2010. 

Excerpt from the Introduction to “2010 Trademark Law Decisions of the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit” from the American University Law Review (footnotes and parentheticals omitted):

“[T]he United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit’s trademark decisions rendered during 2010 provide colorful applications of well-founded substantive trademark law principles and illustrate numerous procedural cautionary tales.  During 2010, the Federal Circuit issued twenty-three trademark decisions and designated eight as precedential.  One case consisted of an appeal from the United States International Trade Commission, two cases were appeals from decisions by United States District Courts, and the remaining twenty cases consisted of appeals from the United States Patent and Trademark Office’s Trademark Trial and Appeal Board.”
