United We Stand America Inc. v. United We Stand, America New York Inc. (3632 words)
Appeal from decision of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (Knapp, J.), granting plaintiff's motion for summary judgment against defendant Alex Rodriguez, denying defendant United We Stand America, New York, Inc.'s motion to vacate default judgment against it, and enjoining defendants' use of plaintiff's registered service mark.
United We Stand America, Inc. ("United") brought this action to enjoin the use of its registered service mark "United We Stand America" by defendants United We Stand, America New York, Inc. ("UWSANY") and Alex Rodriguez.
As United was the first user of the Mark, and UWSANY was well aware of United's prior use before UWSANY used it, the date of United's registration is irrelevant to the dispute.
