Abstract
Considers whether the presumption of confusion in trade mark infringement proceedings is incompatible with digital marketplaces. Reviews the origins of the principle, and discusses, with reference to case law, how the expanded application of the trade mark functions theory in the EU and UK has caused it to resemble the initial interest confusion theory. Examines the potential concerns arising from applying the two concepts to keyword advertising.
