Gimix, Inc. v. Js & a Group, Inc., Auto Page, Inc., and Iwata Electric Co.

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that “auto page” is non-generic, because the combined phrase is plausibly capable of identifying a number of different products, including a device to activate an alarm when a car is broken into and a machine that connects an answering service to a paging system
• describing five years’ use as “so brief as to cast serious doubt upon the very possibility of having established a strong secondary meaning”
• affidavit alleging 'that trademark was well-known was “conclusory in nature and did not adequately place the question of secondary meaning to consumers in issue”
