For this Fall 2009 unfinished oak furniture Market, we have nice variety of cases involving intellectual property and unfinished oak furniture (I’ll save the settlement news for last):
1. Hillsdale unfinished oak furniture, LLC v. Trade Masters, LLC, Civil No. 09-cv-798 (M.D.N.C.) (filed Oct. 13, 2009) – In its complaint, Hillsdale unfinished oak furniture alleges copyright infringement, breach of contract, unfair/unfair competition/palming off under North Carolina common law, and violation of North Carolina Unfair and Deceptive Trade Practices Act. Hillsdale alleges that Trade Master infringes its rights in its “Milan Collection.” The breach of contract claim arises out of Trade Master’s alleged breach of an agreement to cease selling alleged infringements in March 2008. The Milan Collection includes dining tables, chairs, and bar stools, an example of which is shown below:
2. Amini Innovation Corporation v. Acme unfinished oak furniture Industries, Inc., Civil No. 09-cv-7427 (C.D. Cal.) (filed Oct. 13, 2009) – In its complaint, Amini alleges that Acme is engaging in trademark infringement under the Lanham Act, federal and state common law trademark infringement, federal unfair competition, and state unfair competition among other allegations. Amini’s complaint centers around Acme’s use of the names “Monte Carlo,” “Eden,” “Tuscan,” “Tuscany,” “Torino,” and “Venetian” in conjunction with Acme’s unfinished oak furniture collections. Amini owns federal trademark registrations for “Monte Carlo Collection,” “Torino Collection,” “Tuscano Collection,” and “Venetian Collection” (with “Collection” having been disclaimed).
3. Knoll, Inc. v. Richard Racana, Jr. & Associates, Inc. d/b/a European unfinished oak furniture Importers, Civil No. 09-cv-8585 (S.D.N.Y.) (filed Oct. 8, 2009) – In its complaint, Knoll accuses Racana of trademark infringement and false designation of origin under the Lanham along with the usual New York state law claims. The thrust of Knoll’s allegations is that Racana is importing infringing versions of the Barcelon Chair, Barcelona Stool, Barcelona Couch, Barcelona Table, the Flat Brno Chair. Knoll has federal trademark registrations on the Barcelona Chair, Barcelona Couch, and the Barcelona Table. Images of the Barcelona collection and Brno Chair are below:
