Paulsson Geophysical Services, Inc. v. Sigmar

How courts have described this case

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

• holding that district courts need not analyze all “digits of confusion” when alleged infringer is using the exact marks of plaintiff
• holding that where misrepresenting party continued “to use the mark” the senior user “had lost control of the quality of the technology that was being associated with its mark”
• noting that marks which are similar, rather than the same, require a greater confusion analysis
• stating that a likelihood of confusion was enough when coupled with threats to “potential business” and goodwill
• declining to decide whether presumption applies because record indicated that district court’s finding of irreparable harm was not clear error
• affirming preliminary injunction in trademark infringement case even though district court relied solely on mark similarity
