Survey evidence is well suited to shedding light on the resemblance between two marks, or lack thereof, if this is not already evident on the face of the marks. In such situations a word association test may be helpful, but requires proper context and controls in the design of the questionnaire. For example, the applicant for the trademark NORDIC in association with tires presented a survey on the issue of resemblance in an appeal of a decision rendered by the Trademarks Opposition Board, in Canadian Tire Corp. v. Accessoires d'autos Nordiques Inc. The latter Quebec-based retailer had opposed the registration of NORDIC in association with tires, on the grounds that it was too similar to the sound and idea suggested by its own mark, NORDIQUES used in association with auto-parts in Quebec. The survey presented a simple open-ended design. The senior mark NORDIQUES was printed on a card and shown for six seconds to a respondent by the interviewer. The respondent was then asked the following series of questions: (i) Please tell me what, if anything, first comes to mind when you see what appears on this card? (ii) When would you have first made that …show more content…
He might state that the mark reminds him of another mark, that it reminds him of a particular company, that he associates it with particular wares or services, that he associates it with a particular emotion or feeling; etc. Such a question should be followed up by one or more prompts in which the respondent is asked if there is anything else he thinks of when he sees the mark or what does he think of when the mark is associated with particular wares or services. This allows for a more complete assessment of the respondent's first

This questionnaire will utilize close-ended questions for several reasons. The close-ended questions enable pre-set answers which allows for greater ease of coding and analyzation of answers while simultaneously taking away any opportunity for unnecessary or undesired answers to questions. It also adds to higher incidences of participation in the study because the respondent will not have to take vast amounts of time to respond to short-answer questions which can be daunting for those who have difficulty reading or writing which is important in regards to seniors who may have difficulty reading due to poor eyesight or may have problems holding a pen or pencil due to arthritis.

The current financial health of Tire City, Inc. can be determined by looking at its financial statements, and converting the information on them into a number of different ratios, which give analysts information about the financial activities/health of the firm. These ratios include (but are not limited to) the current ratio, acid test, profit margin, total asset turnover, and return on equity. The current ratio measures short term solvency, or the firm’s ability to pay off its short term debt. TCI’s current ratio is 2.03, a healthy indication. This means that for every dollar of short term debt the firm carries, it holds $2.03 in current assets. This means that the company is not facing any significant threat from its short term
and the use tax immunity should not have been extended to the business National Bellas Hess does in the forum.

There are many strategies that graphic designers and marketing directors use to create a logo for a company in order to form a brand. One logo strategy is to create an image that is familiar to individuals even if it’s an image that has never been seen before. Subjective familiarity is the “perception or feeling of familiarity, whether or not it is based on previous exposure” (Henderson and Cote 17). A critical finding in logo strategy is that cultures are homogenous in their response to design. “Gestalt psychology suggests that “good design is determined by culturally held beliefs” (Henderson and Cote 18). It may be difficult for an individual from an outside culture to understand a specific design. In one culture, the meaning of a sign can be completely opposite of the culture in which it is used, i.e. the use of the thumbs up signal.
