Dwight D. Lueck

Highlights among Dwight’s representations include:

• Obtained victories for clients in opposition proceedings before the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board
• A verdict in favor of the owner of an electronic marketplace allowing it to continue using its principal trademark and rejecting the multi-million dollar damages claim brought by the owner of the same trademark who held trademark registrations predating the client’s use of its mark
• The successful defense of an internet telephony company in a preliminary injunction action brought by a competitor seeking to force the client to change its trademark
• A complete defense verdict on behalf of a laminates manufacturer on a multi-million dollar trade secret claim brought against it by a customer and tried to a jury
• An order from the Florida Court of Appeals ordering the trial court to enter the preliminary injunction sought by Dwight’s client, enforcing a covenant not to compete executed by a group of orthopedics sales representatives
• Summary judgment in favor of a ceiling fan distributor on design patent claims raised by a competitor, and affirmance of that summary judgment by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit
• Entry of preliminary injunctions in federal and state courts against sales representatives, distributors and professionals seeking to violate their covenants not to compete
• Development and execution of strategies for trademark holders to enhance and protect their brands when others are using similar marks
