Holding
  • Brookfield has a valid, protectable trademark in "MovieBuff" and West Coast's use of the domain name moviebuff.com would cause a likelihood of confusion. West Coast can not use the term "MovieBuff" in the HTML metatags of its web site. Although there is no likelihood of confusion, the use of "MovieBuff" in the metatags could cause an initial interest confusion. (en)
