A shower building material manufacturer that previously settled a $5.5 million trademark lawsuit over the color purple is potentially in violation of that agreement, says an Illinois federal judge. Amidst indications of non-compliance, the judge has refrained from issuing a formal judgment to give the involved parties an opportunity to resolve the matter.
The 2019 settlement happened following an infringement claim over the company’s assertedly wrongful use of the color purple. The suit was settled but recent stirrings suggest the company might not be abiding by the terms of the agreement.
