Legal Term Bifurcate is To separate legal issues for decision. The judge usually issues one final order that decides all of the issues in a case. For example, in a divorce case, the final decree ends the marriage, divides the marital property and debt, and provides for a parenting plan if there are children. Sometimes, however, the judge will find it necessary to separate or bifurcate the issues. The court could, for example, divorce the parties (i.e. end the marriage), but bifurcate the property division issues, which are decided later.
Legal Term Good faith defense is When a defendant claims that use of plaintiffs mark is defensible as a fair use, one deciding factor is whether or not the defendant was exercising good faith. Good faith means that the defendant did not use the mark in order to cash in on the plaintiffs hard work in generating goodwill with consumers. If it appears that defendant was justifiably using the mark in order to describe the underlying goods or services, then the defendant will likely be found to have had good faith in using the mark. Furthermore, since the plaintiff in a trademark lawsuit is often seeking injunctive relief, which is an equitable remedy requiring the balancing of harms, whether or not the defendant exercised good faith or bad faith can have a considerable impact on the courts decision.
