Defendant Loses Summary Judgment in St. Louis Cardinals Trademark Dispute
The Eastern District of Missouri denied summary judgment in St. Louis Cardinals, LLC v. Lewis, 2007 WL 4205798 (E.D. Mo. 11/26/07).
Douglas Lewis has attempted to obtain federal trademark registrations based on the St. Louis Cardinals' trademarks, such as this application for "Go Cards." He also obtained a number of state registrations. The Cardinals filed this action for trademark infringement, and Lewis moved for summary judgment. In a one-page opinion, the court denied the motion without comment. It is likely the Cardinals will file their own motion for summary judgment before the trial.
