| Context |
The usual test for trademark infringement is the likelihood of consumer confusion: will a consumer be misled into believing that goods or services bearing the infringing mark originate with the trademark owner when in fact they do not? [...] In the context of hypertext, display of a businesses mark in order to signal a link to its home page might also incorrectly signal a business relationship with the entity whose page displays the mark.
