Empower Trademark Dispute Paused as Companies Reach Agreement

Empower Annuity Insurance Co. of America and Empower Finance Inc. have reached an agreement to pause their legal clash over the “Empower” trademark. The decision comes just over a year after a federal judge in Colorado ruled that consumer confusion in the financial services industry was “unlikely,” and denied a request to compel Empower Finance to change its brand identity. The resolution of this trademark dispute, for now, cuts short what could have been a protracted legal battle. For more details on this development, click here.
