Filed a motion for a temporary restraining order to protect the re-branding of a bank

After purchasing the assets of a bank that was being dissolved by the FDIC, our client commenced the process of re-branding the bank as ONEWEST BANK. Between the time that the new brand had been chosen, announced, and  launched, former employees of the dissolved bank learned of the new brand and announced plans to launch their own mortgage brokerage company named ONEWEST MORTGAGE. To protect the client's new mark and to prevent the former employees from falsely claiming a relationship with the new bank, we filed suit and prepared to file a motion for a temporary restraining order. In response to our quick and forceful action, the defendants agreed to change their name and consented to an entry of a permanent injunction. The case has since settled in favorable terms for our client.
