Supreme Court of the United States

Hana Financial, Inc., Petitioner v. Hana Bank

January 21, 2015135 S. Ct. 907

Summary

The Court held that trademark tacking availability is a question for the jury, not the judge, when a jury trial is requested. It reasoned that the inquiry involves consumer commercial impression, which falls within a jury's factual assessment capabilities. The Court affirmed the Ninth Circuit, rejecting petitioner's arguments for judge decision.
