TECNIMED SRL v. Kidz-Med, Inc.

How courts have described this case

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

• holding that a thermometer manufacturer was likely to succeed in its trade dress claim against a former distributor because the manufacturer had identified both a protectable interest and a likelihood of confusion in its trade dress that identified the manufacturer and not a retailer
• finding that the public interest is served “by removing confusing trade dress from the marketplace”
• finding that plaintiff had failed to demonstrate a likelihood of irreparable injury based on loss of goodwill where \the evidence concerning the products' relative quality [was] inconclusive\
• finding that thermometers are \common household products not marketed to consumers with any special expertise\ and noting that such consumers are generally \not sophisticated\ for the purposes of the Polaroid test (citations omitted)
• two factors favoring manufacturer, one favoring distributor, and one “a draw” is insufficient to overcome presumption in favor of manufacturer
