"Aspen is a weak trademark as a matter of law and is entitled to only a narrow scope of protection, if any," J.C. Penney's complaint states. "Defendant's 'Aspen' mark lacks commercial strength because it is commonly used by third parties in the marketplace in connection with footwear and because of its generic reference to a geographical location."

Aspen Licensing International Inc. owns a trademark for various commercial uses of the word "aspen."
In November the company sent a cease-and-desist demand letter to J.C. Penney headquarters, alleging that its advertising and sale of cold-weather boots referred to by the style name "Aspen" infringed on that trademark, according to the federal complaint.
