Plant-based food producer, Impossible Foods, recently appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court, advocating against a review proposed by a marketing company. Owned by an individual who self-identifies as a “digital nomad”, the marketing firm had requested a review of a divided Ninth Circuit decision that had previously revived a trademark lawsuit against them launched by the vegetable burger creator.
Impossible Foods alleges that the commercial firm’s petition inaccurately represents personal jurisdiction legal precedents and puts forth what it brands as “radical” constitutional arguments. By rejecting the firm’s request, Impossible Foods aims to solidify its conviction that these appeals to jurisprudence fail to accurately reflect the legal landscape relevant to their ongoing trademark conflict.
