Trade Dress Analysis
Trade dress is a term used in intellectual property law to describe the overall appearance and packaging of a product or service that distinguishes it from other products or services in the market. It includes elements such as colors, shapes, graphics, packaging, and even the way the product or service is presented to the public.
Einfolge's trademark team provides comprehensive services to secure trademark protection, develop branding strategies, and maintain trademark rights by protecting against infringement.
It's important for businesses to protect their trade dress and prevent others from using similar designs or packaging that could cause confusion among consumers. Einfolge’s team of experts can help ensure that your trade dress is properly protected and enforced and provide guidance on how to use functional and non-distinctive features in a way that avoids infringement. It's always better to be proactive in protecting your intellectual property rather than waiting until a problem arises.
We help in every step of the trade dress analysis process and beyond.

Our trade dress analysis involves a careful review of the various factors that may impact the protectability of a particular trade dress under intellectual property law.
The first factor to consider is whether the trade dress is distinctive enough to be eligible for protection under trademark law. If the trade dress is not inherently distinctive, it may still be eligible for protection if it has acquired a secondary meaning that consumers associate with a particular brand or source of origin. Another important factor we consider is whether the trade dress is likely to cause confusion among consumers. This involves an analysis of the similarities and differences between the trade dress in question and the trade dress of other products or services in the market. Trade dress protection generally does not extend to functional features of a product or service, such as a particular shape or design that serves a functional purpose. However, purely decorative, or ornamental elements may be eligible for protection.
Finally, we evaluate the level of competition in the market and the potential impact of the trade dress on competitors. In some situations, a new trade dress may be too like an existing one on the market, which could result in an unfair advantage or even legal action by competitors.
