Prof. Cotter Quoted in Minnesota Daily Article on "Project Legos" Trademark Dispute

Professor Tom Cotter was quoted in a story in the Minnesota Daily on a pending trademark dispute filed by LEGO Group, the Danish toymaker, against Project Legos, a community outreach organization started by a University of Minnesota alumnus. Cotter expressed skepticism that consumers have been confused by the name "Project Legos," but noted that the fame of the LEGO mark would be a relevant factor in a trademark dilution analysis.
