"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing"
Edmund Burke


From Polymer Technology Corp. v. Mimran, 37 F.3d 74 (2nd Cir 1994)

Regardless of the presence or absence of a contractual restriction, a distributor's failure to observe a restrictive condition on the sale of a product can only constitute trademark infringement if the trademark owner can prove consumer confusion, the hallmark of any trademark infringement claim. See Polymer I, 975 F.2d at 63 (citations omitted). Polymer offers two theories of consumer confusion to support its claim of unauthorized distribution. We find both equally unpersuasive.
