INTRODUCTION
Examination of case law reveals emerging disagreement acrosscourts on what needs to be assessed when measuring "sponsorship"confusion. Various issues, including the logic underlying suchmeasurement, are discussed. In the process, the author explainswhy, from the perspective of both science and law, one approachaccepted by courts makes sense while another does not.
