United States Ninth Circuit

In a dispute between two toy manufacturers involving, inter alia, trademark infringement, copyright, and dilution counterclaims, summary judgment for plaintiff/counterdefendant as to the counterclaims is reversed where: 1) the district court erred in its application of the relevant infringement test; and 2) genuine issues of material fact existed as to defendant-Mattel's copyright and dilution claims. (Amended opinion)
