The Gist:

This chapter is all about trademarks and using them properly.

The Good:

• Very clear and concise
• Talks about actually applying for a trademark

The Bad:

• Not much in the way of defending oneself
• Doesn't really factor in anything outside US law, though that makes sense

Any Questions?

• What counts as being thorough?
•  What counts a Brand Confusion?

In Conclusion:

Overall a very good chapter, as expected of most of the Primer. It serves a needed service and is good to know. 9/10
