 Trademark infringement - definition of Trademark infringement in Encyclopedia
The proper use of a trademark means using the mark as a proper noun referring specifically to the product, or as an adjective, not as a generic noun or a verb.
Further, if a court rules that a formerly trademarked term has become "generic" through common use (such that the average consumer doesn't view it as a trademark), it may also be ruled invalid.
A trademark owner also uses trademark law to prevent unauthorised third party use of a mark which is identical to the owner’s mark, or which is so similar that use of the other party’s mark would result in a likelihood of confusion.

 Auto-trolling for infringers -- Chilling Effects Clearinghouse
Under the Lanham Act and state trademark statutes, persons who usurp registered trademarks as Internet domain names may be both immediately and permanently enjoined from further use of such names or any confusingly similar names and ordered to pay damages and attorneys' fees.
The Lanham Act provides numerous remedies for trademark infringement and dilution, including, but not limited to, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief, money damages, a defendant's profits, provisions for the destruction or confiscation of infringing products and promotional materials and, where intentional infringement is shown, attorneys' fees and possible treble money damages.
A trademark owner/registrant may also be able to obtain lost profits or damages against a defendant in a civil action only if the acts were committed with knowledge that such imitation was intended to be used to cause confusion, mistake, or to deceive.

 INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDER LIABILITY FOR CONTRIBUTORY TRADEMARK INFRINGEMENT AFTER GUCCI
Although the Lanham Act does not address either contributory or vicarious liability for copyright infringement, courts have used common law concepts to apply these to indirect infringers.
In examining the issue of CDA immunity from contributory liability for trademark infringement, the district court first looked to the statutory language.
Despite this apparent bar to extending immunity to trademark infringement, the court addressed Mindspring's argument that immunity would not "limit" or "expand" any IP laws because such contributory liability for trademark infringement had never before been imposed on an ISP.

 United Kingdom - Definition of Trademark Infringement
The plaintiff argued that the defendants were thus liable for infringement within the meaning of the Trade Marks Act 1994, which states that infringement is found where "there exists a likelihood of confusion on the part of the public, which includes the likelihood of association" between the sign and the trade mark.
The effect of this decision is that, notwithstanding attempts at harmonization among the member states, the definition of trademark infringement within the European Union is now unclear, since it appears that trademark infringement will be construed on a narrower basis in the United Kingdom than, for example, in the Benelux countries.
The broader concept, described by the judge as "non-origin association", is derived from Benelux law, under which a trademark functions, not only as an indicator of origin, as in the United Kingdom, but also as an indicator of quality and, through use, such trademark can assume a goodwill all its own.

A federal court issued a temporary injunction in a copyright infringement case involving targeted pop-up advertising.
In a trademark infringement action, personal jurisdiction over an out of state Web site operator was proper in Missouri based upon the plaintiff's Lanham Act claims which, if proven, would constitute a "commission of a tortious act within the state".
The court held that Google could not be held liable for trademark infringement where an advertiser uses the trademark in a keyword.

 Internet Law - Trademark
As such, the court reversed so much of the decision of the district court which dismissed the trademark infringement and dilution claims plaintiff asserted as a result of this use, and remanded those claims to the district court for a determination as to whether "PMOY '81" is a mark entitled to trademark protection.
In this trademark infringement action, the court denied plaintiff's motion for a preliminary injunction, enjoining defendant from continuing to use a domain name that plaintiff contended infringed its common law trademark.
The absence of such a use by WhenU of plaintiff's trademarks is fatal to 1-800 Contacts' trademark infringement claims, and mandated reversal of the District Court's grant of preliminary injunctive relief.

 Don Clark's Response to a Trademark Infringement Accusation
Under both federal trademark law and state common law, the owner of a trademark normally has the exclusive right to the name only in a particular market and only on particular goods or services.
I believe this is false as the federal trademark law, as embodied in the Lanham Act, allows concurrent use of the same famous name by parties when such use does not create a likelihood of consumer confusion.
Accordingly, under both the common law and civil law approaches, trademark rights are acquired only as to specific goods or services.

 What is contributory trademark infringement? -- Chilling Effects Clearinghouse
For example, in one case a court found that the operator of a California swap meet was liable for contributory trademark infringement because it was aware that vendors at its swap meet were selling counterfeit recordings that violated the trademark of the company that owned the rights to the recordings.
However in another case a court felt that a company providing domain name registration, had less control over the use of its service and was not liable for contributory trademark infringement when someone registered a domain name that infringed a trademark.
Answer: Even if you are not using someone’s mark directly in a product or service you sell, your opponent may say you have liability under the theory of “contributory trademark infringement.” This liability may exist if you knowingly allow someone else to violate another party’s trademark rights and personally gain from such violation.

Trademark law essentially prohibits trademarking nouns (and, in fact, you can lose the trademark if it's commonly used as a noun).
Trademarks have to be protected, no matter how little you care, or else they will become invalid and anyone can use them.
Actually, when you look at this case, it's a pretty clear example of why trademarks were created in the first place: to avoid customer confusion about branding.
