$225.00
Description
Abstract: A product’s trade dress — the design and shape of the product or its packaging — isn’t subject to trademark protection if it is deemed functional. The word “functional” may conjure visions of parts and components, but courts can find a product’s color functional, too. This short article reviews a case involving dental products that involved just this question. Sulzer Mixpac AG v. A&N Trading Co., No. 19-2951 (2d Cir. Feb. 18, 2021)
