    PLAYBOY ENTER., INC. v. WELLES, No. 00-55009, 00-55229, 00-55537,
    00-55538 (9th Cir. February 01, 2002)
    Defendant's use of "Playboy" and "Playmate of the Year" on her
    personal website's headlines, banner ads and metatags was correctly
    determined to be nominative use of plaintiff's marks, primarily
    because defendant was in fact a former playmate of the year.
