trademark, which symbolizes the uncompromising craftsmanship of Swiss Army Brands andits parent company, Victorinox A.G. One of the most common infringements by eBay sellers
is the use of the term "Swiss Army" in an auction title or description simply to get theattention of consumers searching for authentic SWISS ARMY watches. This is an example
of "initial interest confusion" recognized by courts where infringers capitalize on the strengthand reputation of the SWISS ARMY brand and divert consumers to sites offering infringinggoods.
