Specialties

Keegan & Donato Consulting specializes in a wide range of trademark and trade-dress analyses and surveys, such as:

• Likelihood of Confusion Surveys –We measure likelihood of confusion through classic survey designs and unique custom surveys that meet our clients’ needs. Our firm has designed and critiqued hundreds of likelihood of confusion studies to ascertain whether consumers are confused by a party’s use of a contested mark.

• Secondary Meaning Surveys – Proving secondary meaning can be a critical step in trademark litigation. We can help you strengthen your case strategy by designing a consumer research survey to target relevant consumers in your client’s market and determine the extent to which they associate a contested mark with a single or multiple sources.

• Strength of Mark Surveys – Consumer surveys are useful in determining the extent to which consumers are familiar with a brand. If your case involves strength of mark, consider a survey that measures consumer reaction to the mark and demonstrates the level of consumer recognition.

• Lanham Act Surveys –A methodologically sound consumer survey can strengthen your case by providing empirical evidence on the issue of whether an alleged infringement is having a real world impact on consumers.

• Consumer Perception Surveys – The way that consumers perceive and interpret specific claims made by a manufacturer on packaging and in other marketing communications is a common issue in false advertising and other types of consumer fraud cases. We can test consumer perception of marketing claims through consumer research.
