TrafFix Devices, Inc. v. Marketing Displays, Inc.
''TrafFix Devices, Inc. v. Marketing Displays, Inc.'', 532 U.S. 23 (2001), was a United States Supreme Court decision in the area of trademark law, holding that a functional design could not be trademarked, and that a patented design was presumed to be functional.
==Background==
The plaintiff, Marketing Display, Inc., held patents (, ) on a two-spring design to keep traffic signs standing in strong winds. After the plaintiff's patents expired, the defendant, TrafFix Devices, Inc., began manufacturing their own signs using the design. The plaintiff sued for trade dress infringement based on copying of the recognizable design. The issue the Courts dealt with concerned the legal question of whether trade dress protection could apply to the subject of an expired patent.
