SDNY COURTHOUSE,
July 28 –
Beverly Hills Teddy Bear
Company sued Best Brands,
accusing it of violating its
copyright on "Squeezamals,"
which it describes as "low
rise foam stuffed toys
designed to look like sloths,
narwhals or dogs."
On July 17 U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Gregory H. Woods held a
proceeding. Inner City Press
covered it.
Back in
June, BHTBC had gotten sealed
two exhibits filed by Best
Brands.
Now in
July, there's been a July 24
letter to Judge Woods from
Morris E. Cohen "re: Exhibit 7
to Parties' Joint Letter
(Filed Under Seal)" -- but for
SDNY Press it says, "You do
not have permission to view
this document." Teddy bears as
national security? Inner City
Press monitored a July 28
conference, with questions of
standing and discovery
violations. But why is it all
sealed? We'll have more on
this.
The July 17
conference was similarly cut
short, rare for Judge Woods.
The case is
Beverly Hills Teddy Bear
Company v. Best Brands
Consumer Products, Inc. et
al., 19-cv-3766 (Woods)
