2. What is trade dress?


In addition to a label, logo or other identifying symbol, a product may also come to be identified by its distinctive shape (the Galliano liquor bottle) or packaging (the Kodak film package). Likewise, a service may be identified by its distinctive decor (the decorating motif used by the Banana Republic clothing stores). Collectively, these types of identifying features are commonly termed “trade dress.”
