Text: 40 When dealing with the second Sleekcraft factor, the courts assess whether the goods are related or complementary. Sleekcraft, 599 F.2d at 350. Where the goods are related or complementary, the danger of confusion is heightened. See id. It is undisputed that M2 Software distributes a line of products that includes audio CDs and has a website that provides audio content for downloading. At a minimum, both M2 Software and Madacy distributed music and CDs. Therefore this Sleekcraft factor weighs in M2 Software's favor, but only slightly because the genres of the music CDs are very significantly different. 7 See Sleekcraft, 599 F.2d at 350 (noting that goods are proximate if the goods are similar in use and function). Thus, the district court did not err in ruling that this factor, if it can support plaintiff's case at all, does so very slightly. 41
