b. Lamborghini’s mark is not weekend by third-party use because the third parties’ marks are not in the Lamborghini’s market of producing luxury sports vehicles.
The presence of third-party registered marks alone is not enough to substantially weaken the strength of the plaintiff’s mark. Homeowners Grp., Inc. v. Home Mktg. Specialists, 931 F.2d 1100, 1108 (6th Cir. 1991). A third-party mark weakens a senior mark when the third parties “use the marks in the relevant market.” Kibler, 843 F.3d at 1076. Extensive third-party registrations on a mark are not enough to substantially weaken the strength of a plaintiff’s mark. Homeowners Grp., Inc. v. Home Mktg.

Kibler, 843 F.3d at 1074. For example, in Kibler the court explained that having music on Amazon and iTunes is “too broad” to be in the same relevant market as a DJ selling music. Id. Because the third-party marks were not used in the relevant market, the court states that “no reasonable jury could find the marks have weakened ‘DJ LOGIC’.” Id. Similarly, in Daddy’s, the court explained that the existence of fifteen other registered marks incorporating the phrase “Daddy’s” only weakens the plaintiff’s mark for the specific purpose that the plaintiff is in business for. 109 F.3d at 281. The court noted that on remand the district court must determine if any of the registered marks specifically relate to the retail sale of musical instruments. …show more content…
In Daddy’s, the court explained that third-party marks can only weaken a plaintiff’s mark for the specific purpose that the plaintiff’s company is in business for. The three closest companies to Lamborghini’s market are: “Bullseye PDR, Inc,” which provides automobile repair and maintenance services; “Michelin North America, Inc,” which supplies tires for vehicle wheels; and “Aleoca Pro Singapore,” which produces bicycles, motorcycles, mopeds, and parts for these goods. J.A. at 64, 73, 75. Automobile repair and supplying tires are both completely different businesses than producing luxury sports vehicles. Producing bicycles, motorcycles, and mopeds is closer to Lamborghini, but producing luxury vehicles is not the same as producing bicycles, motorcycles and mopeds. The court in Kibler looked at the relevant market of the third-party marks. People in the market looking to buy a luxury sports vehicle would not go to a company that provides automobile repair, or a company that supplies tires for vehicle wheels, or a company that produces bikes and mopeds. The only company that has a bull mark and produces vehicles is “No-Chem of Philadelphia, Inc.” and its mark expired in 1978. J.A. at 89. Not only did its mark expire almost 40 years ago, the specific purpose is producing automobiles and truck drawn trailers, completely different from the luxury vehicles
Doris Reed bought a house for $76,000.00 from Robert King. Mr. King and his real estate agent failed to disclose to Mrs. Reed that a murder had taken place in the home ten years ago. Neighbors told Mrs. Reed about the murders and the stigma associated with the house after she moved in. The property appraised in the amount of $65,000.00 with reference to the history of the house. Reed sued King on allegations of misrepresentation for the purchase of the home seeking rescission and damages to terminate the contact.
The defense’s argument that Abigail’s offer did not specify a particular a purebred was not upheld by the jury. Alex thought that he was getting a Chihuahua, or at least a purebred dog. “Such a misrepresentation is one that is likely to induce a reasonable person to assent to a contract” (Twomey & Jennings, p. 273). By delivering a dog that did not reasonably fit within the slightest specifications of a purebred, Abigail blatantly disregarded the contract between she and Alex. Her ad stated that she was selling “purebred toy breed puppies”, not a mix bred (mutt) and definitely not a full size dog, which is what Alex later found out to be the dog he received. The plaintiff was in fact harmed by Abigail’s actions in the form of having paid money in good faith that she would uphold her half of the agreement. The fact that Alex accepted the puppy from Abigail and now has an attachment to the dog, does not excuse Abigail’s actions, nor does it acquit her of any wrongdoing. The plaintiff has established the four elements of

Does the introduction of a system of registration of title remove the need for the law to recognise possessory or equitable interests in land? Why? Why not?
The conclusion of the court in their summary judgment was that no “genuine issue of material fact” was present to establish “a claim of an agency relationship.” In fact, masslawyersweekly.com reports the court went on to say, “If the evidence had failed to materialize upon any one of those elements, the deficiency would be fatal to the lawsuit. The evidence appears to have failed to materialize upon all three of the elements.” Thus, in this case, none of the prongs of the test was met to indicate agency. (Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly,

The process of the judging on this criteria goes like this: First, a business or organization that loses an appeal in the Us court system, they are allowed to file a petition, called a “cert petition” (Savage 981). These petitions explain in thirty pages or less the process, views, and decision of the case. These are then given to the Law Clerks, who create a “cert memo”. This is created when the Clerk rea...

...useless car to a junk yard to recover some loss, but the difference of the re-sale of the junk-car would be a significant loss. Though there were no adequate assurances to the contract, anticipatory repudiation is the only probable remedy for Jack. However, the outcome would weigh on the predominant factor test, which is met because Tom is covered as a merchant because he is operating in his usual daily business, and Jack is the buyer. The sole purpose of the contract was for Tom to sell Jack a car, and for Jack to buy a car from Tom. The UCC, though less stringent than the statute of frauds, does effectively regulate commercial transfers allowing the free market to operate without diminishing the integrity of trade.
