Description
BOYCE F. MARTIN, JR., Circuit Judges. Ameritech, Inc. of Bedford Heights, Ohio, appeals a summary judgment in favor of American Information Technologies Corporation, in a trademark infringement action based on Ohio law. The district court held that the infringement claim of Ameritech, Inc. were barred by the defense of laches and that the claims failed under both "related" and "unrelated goods" analyses. The district court did not consider Ameritech's dilution of trademark and reverse confusion of sponsorship claims. We find the laches defense inapplicable. Also, because trademark dilution claims are cognizable under Ohio law and because we think an Ohio court, if presented with the issue, would recognize reverse confusion claims, we reverse and remand for consideration of those claims.
