Abstract:

Battles over knowledge, authority, and power are often fought when two
different fields address the same issues. This book takes an important
step towards showing how quite different fields, law and linguistics,
can work together effectively in trademark cases. After presenting the
basics of each field, readers are shown how linguistics was used in
ten trademark lawsuits, five of which had opposing linguists on each
side. Finally, helpful suggestions are given to both linguists and
lawyers.
