Examines the intellectual property right known as a trademark, a distinctive word or symbol that indicates the source of goods or services. Explores how trademark law is part of unfair competition law, which protects against a variety of "deceptive" or "inequitable" business practices. Considers the regulation of trademarks as a way to maintain a fair and efficient marketplace for businesses and consumers. Covers common and statutory law of trademark as well as deepening legal analysis of intellectual property rights. Analyzes how trademarks live and develop in culture so students can draw both on the black-letter law and its nuances, as well as on their experience as consumers, in order to advise clients.
