Trade dress infringement occurs when a company copies a competitor’s packaging to confuse the buying public and profit from the competitor’s goodwill. Our attorneys advise our clients how to position themselves through marketing surveys, anecdotal evidence and expert testimony. This allows for success whether we are asserting or denying the existence of a recognized trade dress infringement.
