Judge Rules in Favor of Shotgun Shell Manufacturer in Trademark Dispute


A Georgia federal judge has ruled that a shotgun shell manufacturer’s delay in searching for potential violations of its trademark does not render its claims untimely. The case centers on the “Quik-Shok” mark, which the producer alleges has been improperly used by various sporting companies. Most of the claims pertaining to the mark were found to fall within the permissible time frame for filing a lawsuit. The judge’s decision implies that the mere failure to monitor the internet for potential infringements does not automatically extinguish trademark rights.
