The Federal Circuit will hear Meenaxi Enterprise Inc. v. The Coca-Cola Company, a case that challenges Coca-Cola’s victory at the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB), which stated that Meenaxi attempted to trick American customers by selling two “dupe[s]” of Coke brand products, “Thumbs Up” and “Limca.” Law360 interviewed Finnegan partner Mark Sommers to discuss the case.
Mark stated that the prior TTAB ruling in favor of Coke was “welcome news” for owners of foreign trademarks.
He continued, “The appeal comes at a time when our notions of territoriality have been increasingly blurred by the international character of the marketplace."
