SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Aug 19 – Algood Casters sued
Caster Concepts alleging
infringement on its MAXX
trademark. Its president Craig
Guttmann complained of a
Caster Concept tweet on July
29 "using Plaintiff's
tradement MAXX in standalone
fashion."
On August
19, U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New
York Judge Lewis J. Liman held
a proceeding. Inner City Press
covered it.
The
defendant said that tweet had
been posted by its outside
publicity firm, and had since
been taken down.
After that, Judge
Liman declined to issue a
temporary restraining order.
He established a briefing
schedule and set a future
conference on September 3.
One of the
lawyers asked for more time,
noting a lack of electricity
and describing a Connecticut
suburb where people park near
the library to use the
Internet with iPads and
laptops. Tweeting trademarked
material, no doubt.
This case is
Algood Casters Limited v.
Caster Concepts, Inc.,
20-cv-4623 (Liman)
