Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit

1Opinion of the Court
MAGILL, Circuit Judge.
This case involves a trade dress infringement claim under section 43(a) of the Lan-ham Trademark Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1125(a) (1946). Both parties published nationally competing bimonthly magazines for the woodworking hobbyist and used advertising mailers to solicit subscriptions. The issue on appeal is whether the trial court 1 erred in granting defendant’s motion for summary judgment upon plaintiff’s failure to raise a genuine issue of material fact regarding likelihood of confusion. We affirm.
