Paul Frank Industries was granted a temporary restraining order by Judge Cormac J. Carney, Federal District Judge, which prevents Paul Sunich from using the Paul Frank trademark or tradename.
“We are obviously pleased that the court has granted our request for a temporary restraining order preventing Mr. Sunich from using the Paul Frank trademark or tradename to start a new business. While Paul Frank Industries respects Mr. Sunich's desire to pursue a new career, and we wish him well, we would expect and require him to respect all of the company's copyrights and trademarks, including the Paul Frank identity created by the company. This year promises to be the company's most successful ever, and we appreciate the continued support of our many employees and customers.”
