2008Plaintiff acknowledges that Yellow Cab Affiliation’s control of affiliates’ use of the logo and color “would not alone be sufficient to create a principal-agent relationship” but insist that it “remains a factor to be weighed with the other control factors.” As plaintiff concedes, however, the Lanham Act ( 15 U.S.C. §1051 et seq. (2006)) requires that licensors of trademarks control their use so the public is not deceived and maintaining such control “does not automatically saddle the licensor with the responsibilities under state law of a principal for his agent.” Oberlin v.
