Text: [I]n order to obtain injunctive relief, trademark registrants must meet the same legal standard of infringement that is applied in common law trademark infringement. John Deere and Co. v. Payless Cashways, Inc., 681 F.2d 520, 523-24 (8th Cir.1982); SquirtCo., 628 F.2d at 109-1091; Armstrong Cork Co. v. World Carpets, Inc., 597 F.2d 496, 499 (5th Cir.1979). A permanent injunction is the only way to prevent the likelihood that the public will be misled. Health Indus., 489 F.Supp. at 869. We also note that in a trademark infringement case, Actual damages need not be shown in order to obtain injunctive relief. Howards Clothes, Inc. v. Howard Clothes Corp., 236 Minn. 291, 52 N.W.2d 753, 758 n. 8 (1952). Because we reverse on the issue of likelihood of confusion, we instruct the circuit court to enter an injunction consistent with this opinion.
