Summary
A brand element establishes secondary meaning when it becomes synonymous with the brand and serves as a source identifier for consumers. In legal parlance, secondary meaning has been defined as occurring when “in the minds of the public, the primary significance of a product feature or term is to identify the source of the product rather than the product itself.”1
