• Binder v. DISABILITY GROUP, INC.

  District Court, C.D. California · 2011-01-25 · cited 3×

  This case involved a dispute between Binder & Binder, a law firm specializing in Social Security disability claims, and Disability Group, Inc. over the latter's unauthorized use of the 'Binder and Binder' trademark as a keyword in Google AdWords advertising from March to November 2006. Plaintiffs alleged trademark infringement under the Lanham Act, false representation under the Lanham Act, and unfair competition under California common law. The court found for the plaintiffs on all claims, determining that they owned the valid registered marks, that defendants used the mark in commerce without consent in a manner likely to cause confusion, and that this resulted in diverted clients. Damages were awarded based on a reasonable estimate of lost fees from the diverted cases, using evidence of retention rates and average case fees.
