Vincent F. Chiappetta, Questions & Answers: Trademark & Unfair Competition: LexisNexis sent me a teacher's copy of this study guide. Trademark principles are set forth and tested through multiple choice and short answer questions.
The writing is generally clear and straightforward, and Chiappetta often offers both good and better answers to the multiple choice questions, which might help more in preparing for conventional law school exams than three wrong and one right answer. This first edition has some aggravating typos where the letter of the correct answer is wrong, but the right answer is generally apparent from context, because each answer includes an explanation of its reasoning. There are possible philosophical quibbles -- I'm a lot less reconciled to California Innovations, and to dilution and investment-protection rationales for trademark protection, but Chiappetta generally sets forth very clearly where opinions are likely to diverge.
I'm not sure that the marginal benefit over a casebook is high, but I would definitely recommend this to a nervous student looking for extra study material.
