Pleading and Proof Issues in Trade Dress Litigation

Speaker

Jeffrey T. Lindgren, Esq.—Partner | Vasquez Benisek & Lindgren LLP

Litigating trade dress claims can present some challenging pleading and proof issues.  Court decisions on pleading standards and the proof required to prevail at the summary judgment or trial levels have gaps and leave open questions that can impact how you need to plead or prove your cause of action. This presentation will review some of the difficulties you can face when pleading your trade dress claim and address different strategies to prove your trade dress allegations.
