Summary
This chapter explores trademark law and issues of moral and social justice that arise in its implementation. By promoting similar treatment of similar branding efforts and removing unnecessary barriers, the intellectual property (IP) system could promote interpersonal justice in several areas of life. The sports and entertainment sector, retail, restaurants, and consumer goods markets are highly dependent on brands, trademarks, and goodwill.
