Hi,

I know

There are two situations where the doctrine of fair use prevents infringement:
1.The term is a way to describe another good or service, using its descriptive term and not its secondary meaning.The idea behind this fair use is that a trademark holder does not have the exclusive right to use a word that is merely descriptive, since this decreases the words available to describe.

2.Nominative fair use
a.his/her product or service cannot be readily identified without pointing to the registrant?s mark
b.he/she only uses as much of the mark as is necessary to identify the goods or services
c.he/she does nothing with the mark to suggest that the registrant has given his approval to the defendant.

Do you know more about this then let me know?

Thanks

Mariya, you might get better responses if you pose a specific question.
