  •  Question 9
    2 Points The travel agency, “A 1-800-AMERICAN,” bought listings in telephone yellow pages under the heading “Airlines.” Because its name began with “A 1,” the travel agency was generally listed first in the airlines sections, often right before American Airlines. The actual toll-free phone number for the travel agency was 1-800-263-7422 (1-800-AMERICA). American Airlines brought a lawsuit against the travel agency, and the court ruled in favor of American Airlines. The travel agency was prohibited from continuing to use the name A 1-800-AMERICAN and the phone number 1-800-AMERICA. The most likely basis for the court’s ruling was that: 

    The travel agency’s use was not a fair use.
