Pasadena Based Attorney Louis F. Teran of SLC Law Group Successfully Defends Client in Counterfeiting & Trademark Infringement Case
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) October 05, 2016 -- SLC Law Group has a strong reputation for successful representation of clients in counterfeiting and trademark infringement cases. In a recent monumental case involving accusations of counterfeiting and infringement of five different trademarks, attorney Louis F. Teran successfully defended Shisha Land Wholesale, Inc. in a case that went to jury trial.
The jury verdict on June 8, 2016 found the Defendant guilty of counterfeiting willfully and awarded a stiff $2,000,000 verdict ($400,000 for each trademark) in statutory damages pursuant The Federal Lanham Act 15 U.S.C. §1117(c).
After trial, Teran was able to show that the Plaintiff had not met its burden of proof because there was no evidence of counterfeiting two of the five trademarks. On July 11, 2016, Federal Judge R. Gary Klausner agreed and reduced the jury verdict to $1,200,000.
Later Teran showed that the evidence presented in the case failed to prove that there was counterfeiting as to the remaining three trademarks according to the legal definition of the statute under 15 U.S.C. §1116(d). Teran argued that the jury verdict would punish Defendant for a violation it did not legally commit and would cause manifest injustice. Judge Klausner agreed and vacated the rest of the jury verdict.
The case, Kaloud, Inc. v. Shisha Land Wholesale, Inc., was held in US Federal District Court before Judge Klausner. (Case Number is 2:15-cv-03706, Filing Date: May 18, 2015)
