In a recent development, Edible Arrangements’ trademark lawsuit against 1-800-Flowers.com drew to a close. Reportedly, the suit aimed to address an issue where 1-800-Flowers.com was allegedly bidding on and purchasing keywords linked to Edible products for the purpose of search engine advertisements. Overseeing the case, a federal judge situated in Georgia decided the case in favor of 1-800-Flowers.com because of a previous settlement.
The past settlement in question, which was settled in a Connecticut federal court a few years prior, exempted 1-800-Flowers.com from similar conduct that was contested by Edible. The judge stated that this previous resolution prevented the current suit from proceeding.
