From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vandevere v. Lloyd, 644 F.3d 957 (9th Cir. 2011) was a court case decided on July 11, 2011, where the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit held that the use of a competitor's trademark as an Internet search advertising keyword did not constitute trademark infringement. In the case, Network Automation advertised their own competing product in search queries that contained Advanced Systems Concepts' "ActiveBatch" trademark. In determining whether trademark infringement occurred, the court evaluated factors relevant to the likelihood of customer confusion outlined in AMF Inc. v. Sleekcraft Boats[1] and concluded that confusion was unlikely.[2]
