[E-trademarks] Weight/utility of 2(d) refusal in rebutting infringement claim

[Jessica R. Friedman]

I know that a PTO refusal to register is not dispositive of whether one mark infringes another. But are there cases that say that a 2(d) refusal – at least one that the applicant is not able to overcome – should be given great weight – or any weight?
