Before BLACK, MARCUS and HIGGINBOTHAM,*fn1 Circuit Judges.

Caliber Automotive Liquidators, Inc. provides advertising promotions to car dealerships and owns service marks on “Slash-It! Sales Event” and “Slasher Sale.” Premier Automotive Group uses its own marketing — an infomercial called the “Slasher Show” — to sell cars. Caliber sued Premier in the Northern District of Georgia under both federal and state law, claiming infringement. The district court granted Premier summary judgment, holding that no reasonable jury could find a likelihood of confusion between Caliber’s marks and Premier’s advertising. Caliber appealed. Persuaded that the district court erred in its measure of confusion of Caliber’s customers by Premier’s advertising and in the weight it gave an incontestible mark, we reverse and remand.
