The Google Shortcut to Trademark Law
Posted by
Lisa Larrimore Ouellette
I just posted The Google Shortcut to Trademark Law on SSRN, which I presented last month at a workshop on empirical trademark studies at Oxford (summary from IPKat here), and which I will present next month at WIPIP. In short, I argue that Google and other online search results are highly probative in offline trademark disputes, particularly for evaluating the strength of a trademark. Comments are very welcome!
