Date Filed Document Text
July 29, 2019 Opinion or Order Filing 157 Memorandum Opinion and Order. For these reasons, Pearson is not entitled to recover on its claims for trademark and trade dress infringement under the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. §§ 1051, et seq., trade dress dilution under Section 16.103 of the Texas Business and Commerce Code, and Texas common law trade dress infringement. Further, because Pearson's trademark is not protectable, the Court, pursuant to 15 U.S.C. § 1119, orders the Director of the United States Patent and Trademark Office to cancel Pearsons Inc.'s trademark registration No. 5,184,202, which was registered on April 18, 2017. Ackerman's request for attorney's fees is denied. (Ordered by Magistrate Judge Hal R. Ray, Jr on 7/29/2019) (trt)
November 9, 2018 Opinion or Order Filing 69 Memorandum and Opinion: Defendants have failed to allege facts sufficient to show that the nonparties are required to be joined under Rule 19(a), and Defendants may not demand joinder under Rule 20(a)(2). Consequently, the Court denies Defendants' "Plea Under Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(7)" (ECF No. 12 ). (Ordered by Magistrate Judge Hal R. Ray, Jr on 11/9/2018) (plp)
