Broadcast Date: Wednesday, August 22, 2018
from 3:00 pm to 4:30 pm (ET)
Overview:
Consumer surveys have long been relied on during a trademark infringement litigation or proceedings before the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (the Board) and are often regarded as a direct and compelling evidence of the likelihood of confusion. It is also used as a tool in evaluating and quantifying damages relating to alleged infringement.
Since trademark consumer surveys are a critical factor in the Board’s assessment of the case, it is important that its effectiveness is ensured by bringing in reputable survey experts and using unbiased methodologies. Best practices in survey design and implementation as well as confirmatory evidence of survey results should also be developed.
Join a panel of key thought leaders and practitioners assembled by The Knowledge Group as they bring the audience to a road beyond the basics of bringing or defending against trademark infringement claims and as they delve into an in-depth analysis of the current trends and recent court rulings involving Trademark Survey Evidence. Speakers will also provide practical strategies in improving the effectiveness of Trademark Surveys, thus, bringing out the best in these lawsuits in a rapidly evolving legal climate
Key topics include:
- Trademark Survey Evidence: Recent Trends
- Notable Cases
- Improving Effectiveness of Trademark Survey
- Litigation Strategies
- Best Practices in Survey Design and Implementation

Berkeley Research Group, LLC
Elements to address in improving the effectiveness of trademark survey evidence
- Identifying and sampling the target population
- General population vs. targeted sub-population
- Probability v. non-probability samples
- Review of the case law
- Sampling approaches
- Experimental design principles – use of a control group
- Rationale for use of a control group

SEGMENT 2:
Laura O'Laughlin, Manager
Analysis Group
A reliable, probative survey requires the expert to ask the right question, of the right people, in the right way. Focusing on the questions and on the survey instrument, an expert should:
- Isolate the claims that the survey instrument(s) will test
- Identify proper questions to address the at-issue claims
- Perception -- what do consumers think?
- Comprehension -- what do consumers understand or take away?
- Confusion -- what are consumers mixing up, confusing, or getting plain wrong?
- Choice -- what do consumers choose?
- Purchase drivers -- what is the reason?
- Tailor the question answers to the goals of the study
- Consider what data to generate, and how to analyze it
SEGMENT 3:
Healey Whitsett, Senior Consultant
NERA Economic Consulting
- Replicating marketplace conditions in the survey context
- Defensible methods for presenting stimuli to survey respondents
