Walt Disney Productions, 787 F.2d 1163, 1167-68 (7th Cir.1986) | “damage to the goodwill and prominence of the [plaintiff’s] trademark through public confusion of it with the [respondent’s] trademark is, in itself, an irreparable injury” | court specifically found that numerous instances of actual confusion were the direct result of defendant’s use of a similar mark | Evans was not applicable since the “allegations of the complaint [in Clark] and testimony in the deposition show that continuing discrimination is under attack. The appellant’s action therefore is not time-barred.” | "Advantages built upon a deliberately plagiarized make-up do not seem to us to give the borrower any standing to complain that his vested interests will be disturbed.", quoting My-T Fine Corp. v. Samuels, 69 F.2d 76, 78 (2d Cir.1934) | denial of a motion to dismiss an indictment was not reviewable | denial of a motion to dismiss an indictment was not reviewable | “Arm & Hammer” infringed by “Arm in Arm”
