Litigation (Non-Profit Accountability)

A lawsuit or other action before the courts to determine a legal question or matter.


Litigation (Trademark)

A lawsuit. In order to litigate a trademark conflict, there must be a legal cause of action such as infringement or dilution. Trademark litigation often occurs on a very fast schedule since the plaintiff usually requests the court to grant a temporary injunction to stop the alleged trademark infringer from using the mark until the whole dispute can be resolved through a longer process. If a court grants the injunction, the defendant typically settles quickly and changes marks because the incentive for litigating a mark that cannot be used (at least in the short term) is obviously prohibitive since goodwill will have to be generated under a new name.


Litigation (Workers Compensation)

A formal, detailed job description that includes the essential functions of the job can provide a sufficient basis for the determination of benefits. It is usually necessary to know the frequency and/or duration of specific work tasks, such as lifting or keyboarding.
