Thomas A. Moore, senior partner at Kramer, Dillof, Livingston & Moore, and Matthew Gaier, a partner at the firm, write that it is standard practice in medical malpractice actions for the defense to obtain discovery regarding the plaintiff's physical condition from before and after the claimed malpractice.

A trademark must be deemed "famous" before its owner can take advantage of the protections afforded by the Federal Trademark Dilution Act. But fame, it turns out, is not so easy to define. Some courts have adopted a "niche" theory that allows a trademark owner to prove a mark's fame by showing that it is well-known in a certain market or geographic region.
