J. Coughenour grants summary judgment to the personal protective equipment ("PPE") manufacturer for its claim that, during the Covid-19 pandemic, the medical device manufacturer represented to multiple clients that it could provide millions of the PPE manufacturer's trademarked respirators at a rate above the listed price with the PPE manufacturer's alleged inclusion.

J. Koeltl denies the nonparty individual's motion to intervene to assert counterclaims for breach of fiduciary duty in a trademark infringement action derivatively on behalf of a company in which he holds a 50% interest. The action arises out of a dispute over a trademark used by three New York City Greek restaurants. The individual failed to show diligence since he had information supporting the proposed amendment for more than two months before filing the motion. The proposed amendment would substantially prejudice the other company.

J. Corker grants the Arizona companies' motion to dismiss this trademark infringement lawsuit brought by a Tennessee company that digitizes physical media for consumers and markets its service with the trademark "Legacybox." The Arizona companies do not have "systematic" contacts with the state, and the allegations do not show that they "purposefully availed themselves of the privilege of acting in Tennessee." Accordingly, they are not subject to jurisdiction.

J. Scarsi finds in favor of the nonprofit public benefit corporation for its contract counterclaim alleging that the business owners did not keep thousands of its patients’ private medical records confidential in 2012, and alleging that in 2021 the business owners registered a website with “access to thousands of current and past Kaiser Permanente members and patients” that displayed the nonprofit public benefit corporation’s marks. The nonprofit corporation is entitled to damages because the business owners refused to delete at least one patient's data despite their request to do so, and the nonprofit corporation’s efforts to complete this request cost several thousand dollars.

J. Lin grants the plastic surgery practice leave to file a first amended complaint arising from its lawsuit alleging that the cosmetics and reconstructive services companies used a brand similar to that of the plastic surgery practice. The plastic surgery practice simply intends to add factual allegations to the Consumer Protection Act claim, which will not create an undue burden for the cosmetics and reconstructive services companies.

J. Lasnik grants the alpine club a temporary restraining order stopping the park owner its employees from restraining access to the Kitsap Rhododendron Preserve, as part of the park owner's objection that the alpine club does not have a valid easement to the preserve owned by the park owner. The alpine club shows that “irreparable harm is likely to result in the absence of the injunction," because it would be unable to put on its theatrical performances without access to the venue and thus would have to cancel the performances, including the 100th anniversary of the theater program that involved hundreds of volunteers and 1,500 tickets sold.

Shields rules in a bench trial and finds in a favor of a security system installation company on its claims for false designation of origin and false advertising under the Lanham Act plus its claim for tortious interference with contract against a competitor and awards them $91,036 compensatory damages for lost revenue.

J. Rowland partially grants the defendant machine shop’s motion for summary judgment while denying the plaintiff machine shop’s cross-motion for summary judgment in this case over military-compliant fasteners. The plaintiff shop claims the defendant shop violated trademark laws by buying plaintiff’s fasteners, altering them and selling them to its customers as compliant with military specifications. The court grants the defendant shop’s claim for summary judgement as to the “word marks,” i.e., the plaintiff shops’ brand identifiers, which are present on the defendant’s fasteners, as the plaintiff has not sufficiently explained why those marks cannot appear on the fasteners when they are meant for military and not commercial use. All other claims from all parties survive.

J. Meerveld grants a request by a popular Vietnamese-American bakery in New Orleans for an award of $6,943 in attorney fees against a Texas-based company, arising from the latter business’s unsuccessful attempt to enforce terms of a settlement agreement over an intellectual property dispute. The bakery’s award was reduced $1,062, partly because there was “no longer a reasonable basis” for the legal advice of an intellectual property counsel at the applicable stage of the dispute.
