How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- affirming denial of injunction because consumers would probably think of product feature as ornamentation rather than as indicium of source
- white stripes are so common on the sidewalls of tires that the general public will likely view the claimed three concentric stripes “as just a refinement of this general ornamental concept, rather than as a trademark”
