How later courts describe this case

  • rejecting view that appellate courts should substitute their own view of factual findings based on documentary evidence
  • district courts in trademark cases "possess[ ] substantial discretion to decide how close is too close, once an infringer has committed a contempt of the original injunction"
  • while words “colorable imitation” leave something to the imagination, Rule 65(d) does not require “a torrent of words” when such would not provide more guidance
  • White, ,/., dissenting from the denial of certiorari to resolve whether the determination of likelihood of confusion under section 43(a) is subject to de novo review as a conclusion of law or “clearly erroneous” review as a question of fact
  • question of likelihood of confusion is "all fact and no law"
