Description

Consumer surveys are increasingly being used in a variety of contexts in advertising and trademark litigation. Surveys are deployed to provide evidence concerning deception, materiality, likelihood of confusion, secondary meaning and more. A well-designed consumer survey can provide powerful evidence in support of a party’s claims or defenses; but there are multiple landmines and potential missteps that need to be avoided along the way.

Listen as J. Michael Keyes, Partner at Dorsey & Whitney, examines the use of surveys to address key legal and factual issues in advertising and trademark disputes. Our presenter will provide critical, up-to-date case law developments that trial counsel and their experts need to know about on their quest to design admissible and effective survey evidence.
