Date Filed Document Text
July 25, 2016 Opinion or Order Filing 131 MEMORANDUM & ORDER: Merkoss motion to amend the Courts factual findings and judgment is granted insofar as the Court now finds that the Kehot logo is a strong mark, and there is insufficient evidence of third-party use to weaken it. With this new fac tual finding, the Courts balance of the Polaroid factors is amended to reflect there is a likelihood of confusion. However, the motion 125 is denied with respect to amending the judgment, because Merkoss claim remains barred by the doctrine of laches. Ordered by Judge Frederic Block on 7/25/2016. (Innelli, Michael)
