About This Course
This practical CLE program explores how trademark practitioners can effectively analyze and overcome likelihood-of-confusion refusals under Section 2(d) of the Lanham Act. Focusing on the prosecution process, the course examines the application of the DuPont factors, the assessment of potential conflicts across different classes of goods and services, and the strategic use of consent agreements to address cited marks.
Attendees will gain insight into evaluating refusal risks, developing effective prosecution strategies, and preparing persuasive office action responses supported by TTAB precedent and USPTO practice.
