S.C. Johnson & Son, Inc., 70 F.3d 267, 269(2d Cir. 1995); see Champion Spark Plug Co. v. Sanders, 331 U.S.125 (1947) (registering proper noun as trademark does not withdraw it fromlanguage, nor reduce it to exclusive possession of registrant).To comewithin this fair use defense a person must make use of the other party’strademark (i) other than as a mark, (ii) in a descriptive sense, and (iii) ingood faith.See 15 U.S.C. §1115(b)(4).B.Referenceto the Owner of the Mark or the Owner’s Goods or ServicesAnother species of the fair use defense is theuse of a mark when referring to the owner of a mark or the owner’s goods orservices.Once again, this defense is only available if the unauthorizeduser is not using the term for purposes of source identification and the usedoes not imply sponsorship or endorsement by the trademarkowner.Obviously, a great deal of useful social and commercial dialoguewould be all but impossible if speakers were under threat of an infringement lawsuitevery time they made reference to a person, company or product by using itstrademarks.In New Kids on the Block v.
