holding no descriptive substitute exists for Playboy’s trademarks, 2 and finding nominative fair use for Welles to identify herself as a “Playboy Playmate of 3 the Year 1981” rather than “a nude model selected by Mr. Hefner’s magazine” in 1981
finding factor satisfied because defendants used “trademarked words, not 1 the font or symbols associated with the trademarks”
“we are constrained to follow” Buckhannon’s “broad directive and join several of our sister circuits in concluding that the catalyst theory may no longer be used”
SSR 00–4p “requires an explanation only if the discrepancy was ‘identified’ . . . . ”
“Credibility issues such as the sincerity of an employee's religious belief are quintessential fact questions. As such, they ordinarily should be reserved for the factfinder at trial, not for the court at summary judgment.”
