Epstein Becker Green Wins in Trademark Infringement and Fraud Scheme

Obtained a rare ex parte temporary restraining order on behalf of a supermarket client to put a stop to an ongoing trademark infringement and fraud scheme. The defendants appropriated the well-recognized trademark of one of our client’s subsidiary supermarket brands to pass themselves off as franchisees of that brand, in order to get financing for fraudulent transactions and other illegal activities. After our restraining order was granted in New Jersey federal court in less than 24 hours, we filed a trademark infringement lawsuit against the defendants.
