Jacobs Law Group informs us that Judge Juan Sanchez of the Eastern District of Pennsylvania has found in favor of their client, Tim Gittens, known as "Headache" to fans of street-ball, in a lawsuit brought against Headache by AND1, the clothing and footwear manufacturer recently purchased by the makers of AVIA brand sportswear.
According to the law group in an email, AND1 had accused Headache of using their trademarks without permission and further, that Headache has breached a contract with AND1. Judge Sanchez found, after a one-day bench trial, that Headache was not liable, and further awarded costs and attorney fees to Headache.
Matthew Cohen, Chairman of Jacob's Law Group's IP Practice, was obviously delighted with the verdict. "We've asserted all along that Mr. Gittens was the one who was wronged, and not AND1," says Cohen. "We've also always asserted that this suit was nothing but retaliation for a previous suit brought by Mr. Gittens against AND1. Judge Sanchez's decision supports our claims."
