NEW YORK – April 2, 2013 – ALM’s Law Journal Press, a leading publisher of print and digital publications for legal professionals, today announced the release of a new book, Trademark Trial and Appeal Board Practice: A Comprehensive Review, by Heather D. Redmond.

The Trademark Trial and Appeal Board is a unique forum with special attributes and powers, which was established for the specific purpose of adjudicating trademark disputes. Trademark Trial and Appeal Board Practice: A Comprehensive Review offers in-depth, step-by-step guidance on all types of board proceedings, with insights on how to succeed at each stage.

The book offers helpful guidance to attorneys on either side of a trademark dispute. A detailed table of contents, as well as ordering information for this and other Law Journal Press publications, is available at www.lawcatalog.com.

“Law Journal Press is very pleased to add another quality title to our Intellectual Property product line, one that we feel is already one of the best in the industry.” said Larry Selby, vice president of Books, Newsletters, & e-Products at ALM.

Trademark Trial and Appeal Board Practice: A Comprehensive Review explains the Board’s authority and the limits on its authority, when a party can or must resolve a dispute before the Board, when it can’t, and how Board proceedings compare to litigation in other forums. Other topics covered include the following:

• Inter partes and ex parte proceedings:
• Opposition, cancellation, concurrent use, and interference proceedings;
• Ex parte appeals;
• Standing, service of process, discovery, motion practice, and trial procedure
• “Dilution,” “mere descriptiveness,” and “acquired distinctiveness”;
• “Likelihood of confusion”; and
• Appeals from Board decisions in the federal courts

Heather D. Redmond is a partner in the Minneapolis, Minnesota office of Dorsey & Whitney LLP and a member of the firm’s Intellectual Property Litigation Practice Group. Named a “Rising Star” by Minnesota Super Lawyers, she has been lead counsel in dozens of proceedings before the Board.
