Supreme Court Declines to Review Trademark Fraud Case, Upholding Second Circuit Ruling

In a recent decision, the U.S. Supreme Court has announced its refusal to review a trademark fraud case involving a Florida souvenir store chain and a now-bankrupt beachwear company. The case centered around allegations that the beachwear company had fraudulently obtained a trademark registration, which purportedly allowed it to secure a $3.5 million settlement. This action by the Supreme Court leaves intact a ruling by the Second Circuit that had dismissed the souvenir store’s claims. The original case can be accessed through Law360.
