SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Sept 10 – A trademark
dispute about beauty products
for mothers has been referred
to a judge of the U.S. Court International
Trade,
from the U.S. District Court
for the Southern District of
New York.
On September 13,
Court of International Trade
Judge Timothy M. Reif held a
proceeding in a case initially
assigned to SDNY Judge Vernon
S. Broderick. Hope
Organics is suing Preggo
Leggings for using a MTHR
mark, which it says copies its
MUTHA trademark.
There
ensued an oral argument
ranging from the success of
Peleton during the pandemic to
res ipsa locutor and the
changed geograph of trademark
and confusion when packages
can be ordered in one day from
anywhere.
The lack of
complaints about confusing on
social media was noted by
Judge Reif. But Hope Organics'
lawyer asked, Who among us has
time to comment on social
media? Who indeed.
The case is Hope
Organics LLC v. Preggo
Leggings LLC, 21-cv-2416
