On July 23, 2012, Tesoros Trading Company filed a lawsuit (available here) against Tesoros Misticos, Inc. (“TMI”) accusing TMI of committing trademark infringement. Tesoros has various “Tesoros” related marks for use in connection with wholesale and retail store services specializing in folk art and other items from Latin America. According to Tesoros, “Defendant TMI’s advertising, services, and products make pervasive unauthorized and infringing use of Plaintiff Tesoros’ protected [m]ark.” Although cease and desist letters were sent, TMI has refused to cease using Tesoros’ trademark. Tesoros asserts various causes of action, including trademark infringement, against TMI.
Judge Lindsay has been assigned the case.
Tesoros is represented by Jeffrey Taylor, of the Akin Law Firm.
