• explaining that \summary judgment in trademark infringement cases must be approached with great caution\ when a finding of fact requires weighing multiple factors
• acknowledging there will be “rare” occasions when the proffered survey is “so flawed as to be completely unhelpful to the trier of fact and therefore inadmissible”
• stating that it is rare that a survey is so flawed that it is inadmissible and that “shortcomings in the survey results go to the proper weight of the survey and should be evaluated by the trier of fact.”
• remanding for “a more plenary explanation” for the district court’s denial of attorney’s fees as a discovery sanction under Rule 37 because “the denial of sanctions with no explanation may constitute an abuse of discretion”
