SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Feb 22, 24 – Viahart based in
Wills Point, Texas believes
that its "Brain Flakes" brand
is as well known as Coca-Cola
and Nike. So it is
suing.
On
February 22 U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York Judge
Gregory H. Woods held a
proceeding. Inner City Press
covered it.
Judge Woods asked Viahart's
lawyer for the basis of
claiming this fame of Brain
Flakes.
The response
cited Amazon reviews, even
Pinterest posts.
Update of
February 24: to enlarge the
record, and to be responsive
as so many aren't, we note
also "Brain Flakes' articles
in the Wall Street Journal and
New York Times."
Judge Woods
advised addressing it in
upcoming briefs. He declined
to stay discovery; a motion to
dismiss is expected.
The case is
Viahart, LLC v. Creative Kids
Online, LLC et al., 20-cv-9943
(Woods)
