Sportswear Inc. v. Savannah College of Art and Design Inc.
Petition for certiorari denied on October 4, 2021
Issues: (1) Whether the scope of a federally-registered service
mark extends to unrelated goods bearing that
service mark; and (2) whether the defendant’s copying of a mark, without
proof of consumer confusion as to the source of
the parties’ goods or services, establishes
trademark infringement merely because
consumers recognize the mark.
