Topics include:

·      What does Comfort Corp. v. Baxter International Inc. contribute to the initial interest confusion doctrine?

·      Rogers v. Grimaldi cases that change or revise the original test are a regular occurrence in trademark law. Where are we now? Just how many Rogers tests are there?

·      It’s been two years. How to we evaluate Iancu v. Brunetti now?

·      What are the issues in Kaisha v. Lotte Int’l Am. Corp., 2021 U.S. App. LEXIS 7026, No. 19-3010 (3d Cir. March 10, 2021). Should the Supreme Court grant cert? If so, should the Court affirm or reverse? What should the Court say?
