What the Court held
The Court revisited overall similarity, anti-dissection, dominant features, trade dress and equitable considerations governing interim relief in trade mark infringement and passing-off disputes.
Why it matters
Brand disputes should be prepared visually as well as textually. The court must be shown how consumers encounter the competing marks, packaging and trade dress in the real marketplace.
Practice note
Similarity analysis is impressionistic but not unstructured. Registration, class, consumer profile, trade channels, get-up, use and the exact relief sought all matter.
