It began as the case of a clothing manufacturer struggling to protect the designs of its products against knock-offs commissioned by a retail behemoth. But when the feud between Wal-Mart and Samara Brothers reached the U.S. Supreme Court, it was clear the case had touched off a debate on one of the most fundamental questions in trade dress law: When is a product configuration that has not been copyrighted, trademarked, or patented so "inherently distinctive" that it deserves protection from infringement?
