[E-trademarks] Case saying consumers can distinguish adult vs family products?

[Cumbow, Bob]

Scott,

Not sure it’s the one you’re looking for but Wreal v. Amazon, 38 F.4th 114 (11th Cir. 2022) might be of help—reverse confusion case brought by porn company that first used the trademark FIRE TV against Amazon’s more famous introduction of home viewing software under the same name.

Hi Team, Is anyone aware of any authority saying that consumers understand that family entertainment and products using the same mark as adult entertainment and products come from different sources (or vice versa)?  We are the family entertainment.
Thanks.

Regards,
Scott
