Biography

I am a commercial litigator specializing in federal litigation, including trials. I work extensively with online businesses, specifically in connection with the use of intellectual property on the Internet in both litigation and non-litigation roles. My firm is also recognized for its strength in civil rights, employment and free speech law. I am known for my work as the lead attorney for Simon Tam in the U.S. Supreme Court case Matal v. Tam, which held that the disparagement clause of the trademark statute violated the First Amendment's free speech clause.

I have successfully represented clients of every size in state and federal courts, arbitrations and mediations in a variety of litigation matters, including contract disputes, distributorship litigation, trademark and unfair competition cases, business tort claims, toxic tort and insurance coverage litigation, discrimination and wrongful discharge cases, copyright infringement claims, and cases involving trade secrets, restrictive covenants and real estate. My litigation experience runs from pretrial investigation and early dispute resolution through every aspect of bench and jury trials as well as appeals.

My blog about copyright, trademark and related issues, LIKELIHOOD OF CONFUSION®, was recognized by the ABA Journal as one of the top 100 law-related blogs in the country in its first-ever listing in 2007.

Awards
Mark T. Banner Award for Impact on IP Law
American Bar Association - Intellectual Property Law Section
From the ABA IP web page: Early in 2017, Simon Tam's legal team Ronald Coleman, John Connell, and Joel MacMull argued pro bono at the U.S. Supreme Court on behalf of Mr. Tam in Matal v. Tam., resulting resulting in the invalidation, on constitutional grounds, of a federal intellectual property statute for only the second time in U.S. history.

World Trademark Review
"Archer & Greiner is home to Ronald Coleman, noted for his shrewd handling of disputes concerning freedom of expression – such as his representation of The Slants in a widely publicised case involving the constitutionality of disparaging marks. He is additionally well versed in online commercial issues and a fierce defender of small and medium-sized enterprises against illegitimate unfair competition claims."

The Slants, Scandal and Speech: Do the First Amendment and Trademark Law Collide?, 42nd Annual IP Institute, Newport Beach, CA
State Bar of California IP Law Section
The Supreme Court’s unanimous decision in Matal v. Tam struck the Lanham Act’s prohibition on the registration of disparaging marks as an unconstitutional violation of the First Amendment. This panel evaluates the decision and contemplates its wider implications, including its applicability to the separate ban on registration of immoral and scandalous marks, anti-dilution protection and the broader intersection of intellectual property rights and free speech.

What’s the Use? Exploring Recent Challenges and Changes to Common Law Unfair Competition and Trademark Use Requirements in the U.S. and Canada, Annual Meeting, Barcelona, Spain
International Trademark Association
2016 saw an assault on the age-old axiom that for a markholder to have rights in the U.S., that same mark must actually be used in the U.S. And, while what constitutes “use” has long been debated in U.S. courts and before the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB), use in the U.S. as a precondition to an unfair competition claim under the Lanham Act is no longer the law in the Fourth Circuit. In Belmora LLC v. Bayer Consumer Case AG et al., the Fourth Circuit concluded that a false advertising or false association claim under Lanham Act Section 43(a) (15 U.S.C. §1125(a)) need not be premised upon the ownership of a U.S. trademark registration or even use of a mark in the U.S. Rather, a §43(a) claim is available to “[a]ny person who believes that he is or will be damaged” as a result of a defendant’s conduct. Thus, reasoned the Fourth Circuit, the question to be resolved under §43(a) is not whether the defendant’s activities infringe the plaintiff’s registered mark; but rather, whether the defendant has used in commerce a word, term, name, or symbol that plaintiff believes is likely to cause it damage. The Federal Circuit also abandoned this bedrock use requirement in Christian Faith Fellowship v. Adidas AG, where it reversed the TTAB’s cancellation of two marks on grounds that the registrant’s trivial out-of-state sales were nevertheless enough “use in commerce” to invoke protection under the Lanham Act. But this sea change in the standards of use are not merely confined to the U.S. Canada too is scheduled to abandon its long time reliance on use as a precondition to obtaining a Canadian trademark registration. Canada’s recently amended Trade-marks Act is scheduled to be implemented in 2019 and looks to eliminate several filing bases, including proposed use. The panellists will address relevant decisions and legislation and will explain how these developments contribute to an ever evolving trademark litigation and prosecution landscape in the U.S. and Canada.

Emerging Topics Surrounding the Online Use and Abuse of Trademarks, Advanced Issues for the IP Professional, New York, NY
Association of the Bar of the City of New York
The title of this presentation consists of a laundry list of active and fast-developing issues implicated the online use of trademarks. Any one of them would qualify for a full presentation, so there is no way to do all of them justice in 25 minutes. For that matter, the IP implications of blogs beyond trademarks, especially regarding copyright but even recently involving the publication of trade secrets, are also wide-ranging. The line must be drawn somewhere, however, so here we will limit our brief survey to the tangent where trademarks touch blogging and blogs, the first “paradigm shift” with respect to the Internet in our century. The full-day symposium – the latest in a series of halacha conferences organized by Agudath Israel’s Torah Projects Commission – will feature presentations by noted halachic authorities and expert panelists in the business, accounting, legal, medical and mental health fields.
