041282P.pdf   01/04/2005  Everest Funds Mgt.  v.  Everest Capital
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  04-1282
   District of Nebraska   
Civil case - trademarks. Evidence was sufficient to support jury's verdict that defendant's use of the Everest mark was not a Lanham Act violation; jury instruction on likelihood of confusion was a fair and adequate statement of the law; plaintiff was not entitled to judgment as a matter of law on trademark dilution claim, as a reasonable jury could find the mark was not famous in a relevant consumer market and had not actually been diluted; reasonable jury could reject commercial misrepresentation claims on the ground any misrepresentation was inadvertent, did not deceive anyone and had not injured plaintiff.
