Functional Use Defense
Functional Use Defense is a legal doctrine in trademark law that serves as a defense to trademark infringement by asserting that the allegedly infringed mark consists of functional features essential to the use or purpose of the product or that affect its cost or quality, and therefore cannot be protected under trademark principles because granting exclusive rights would hinder legitimate competition.
