Sportswear, Inc., dba Prep Sportswear v. Savannah College of Art and Design, Inc.

Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, No. 15-13830 · judgment October 3, 2017

Certiorari denied · October 1, 2018

Pre-decision estimate: 4% cert probability

Before the decision, roughly the 4.1% base rate. The model weighted this up for a circuit split argued in the petition, an Eleventh Circuit decision below, and a business petitioner, and down for a business respondent.

Question presented

Does the scope of a federally registered service mark extend to unrelated goods bearing that service mark?
