Question Presented (from Petition)
1. Does the First Amendment provide an infringer blanket immunity for trademark infringement across all categories of goods so long as they can claim their first use was in an "expressive work"?
2. Assuming the First Amendment provides some level of immunity against forward trademark infringement, should courts apply the test specifically crafted for forward confusion cases in cases of reverse trademark infringement?
Question Presented (AI Summary)
Does the First Amendment provide an infringer blanket immunity for trademark infringement across all categories of goods so long as they can claim their first use was in an 'expressive work'?
