U.S. District Judge Michael McShane in the District of Oregon reportedly entered two judgments in favor of Work Sharp and against two unauthorized resellers of Work Sharp products.
In a written opinion, the Court found that the defendants infringed Work Sharp’s trademarks and copyrights with product sales through unauthorized product listings. The Court also awarded Work Sharp its attorney’s fees in both cases of $17,324 and $19,082.05, respectively.
Matt Elliott, Work Sharp’s director of marketing, expressed the company’s pleasure with the Court’s rulings. “We are extremely pleased with Judge McShane’s ruling and recognition of Work Sharp’s intellectual property. Work Sharp values our trademarks, copyrights, and intellectual property and will continue to work diligently to protect its rights from infringement.”
