QUESTION 1
For five years, clothing makers and marketers Style-One Corporation and Trend Now, Inc., both use the phrase “Looks Great” on
their labels. Style-One files a suit against Trend Now, claiming trademark infringement. Trend Now argues that the phrase
generally is not associated with any particular firm and that other companies use the same phrase on their labels and in their ads.
In whose favor is the court most likely to rule, and why?
QUESTION 2
Duplos College Bookstore compiles, copies, and sells reading materials to students. The compilations are prepared on the instructions of professors, who indicate which parts of which publications should be included for their students.

Ebooks and others file a suit against Duplos, alleging infringement of their intellectual property rights. Which type of intellectual property is involved in this situation? What is Duplos’s likely defense? How is a court most likely to rule? Explain.
