Overview:
The use of trademarks has become evidently valuable for businesses’ growth and success. Trademarks, which enable consumers to exclusively identify products and services, thus, preventing confusion in the market, can actually increase in value and can last forever. However, the widespread crossroad of trademark infringement cases is now inevitable. Trademark owners must be well prepared to protect and defend their trademarks against infringement.
In this LIVE Webcast, a seasoned panel of thought leaders and professionals brought together by The Knowledge Group will provide and present an in-depth analysis of the fundamentals as well as recent developments in recovering remedies and damages for an infringed trademark. Speakers will also present all important issues surrounding this significant topic.
Some of the major topics that will be covered in this course are:
• Trademark Infringement Remedies and Damages – Overview
• Best Practices to Recover Remedies
• Notable Court Rulings and Recent Developments
• Tips to Protect Trademarks
• Outlook

Agenda:
Segment 1: Mr. Thomas Dunlap, Partner Dunlap Bennett & Ludwig PLLC
• Cybersquatting generally • Protecting Domain Names as Trademarks • Choice of forum: ACPA/ URDP (providers) • Selective purchase of domain names by “domainers” • Choosing a UDRP dispute provider • The top-level domain • Uniform Rapid Suspension System (URS) • ccTLD Dispute Policies for Country-Code Top Level Domains (possibly-optional)
Segment 2: Mr. James Gale, Co-Chair, Intellectual Property Litigation Cozen O'Connor
Segment 3: Mr. Brian M. Daniel, ASA, CFA, CLP, Vice President Charles River Associates
1. Overview of monetary relief available in Lanham Act matters a. Lost profits b. Defendant’s profits c. Enhanced damages d. Other 2. Variety v. Walmart Case – decided February 19, 2019 a. Trademark infringement of Backyard trademark on BBQ grills b. Reasonable royalty and disgorgement of profits 3. Willfulness as a requirement for defendant’s profits a. Romag Fasteners, Inc. v. Fossil, Inc. et al. b. Circuits currently requiring willfulness c. Circuits considering willfulness as a factor
Segment 4: Mr. Steven J. Wadyka, Jr., Shareholder Greenberg Traurig, LLP
1. The issue of whether willfulness is a prerequisite to an award of defendant’s profits under Section 35(a) of the Lanham Act is currently before the U.S. Supreme Court. 2. The petition for certiorari was fully briefed as of June 4, 2019. The Court will decide in the coming months whether it will hear the case. 3. A key issue in dispute is whether the 1999 Amendment to Section 35(a) expressed Congress’s intent to require willfulness for an award of damages and profits for trademark dilution claims under Section 43(c) but not for trademark infringement claims under Section 43(a). 4. Most courts have considered willfulness as at least a factor in determining whether to award profits. 5. Knowledge of the plaintiff’s mark can in some cases be proof of willfulness but not always. 6. Willfulness has been found based on the defendant’s continued use of its mark after receiving a USPTO refusal under Section 2(d) based on a likelihood of confusion with the plaintiff’s mark. 7. Willfulness has also been found whether the defendant continued to use its mark after receiving a cease and desist demand from the plaintiff. 8. The courts have also found willfulness where the defendant acted with willful blindness by, for example, failing to investigate the claims asserted by the plaintiff in a cease and desist letter. 9. Failure by the defendant to conduct a trademark search does not alone establish willfulness. 10. The multi-factor approach taken by those Circuits that do not view willfulness as a prerequisite to an award of profits will likely continue to be viable regardless of the outcome in Romag Fasteners.
