The Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals is weighing whether a California-based clothing company, TWD LLC, can win a retrial after losing a trademark dispute over its use of the U.S. Army motto “This We’ll Defend” on apparel.
TWD LLC is asking a three-judge panel to reinstate claims and certain defenses that were denied at the district court level in favor of Grunt Style LLC, a Chicago-based competitor.
Grunt Style responded with counterclaims asserting prior rights to the Army motto.
Grunt Style is represented by attorneys Matthew De Preter and Sofia Quezada Hastings of Aronberg Goldgehn Davis & Garmisa.
TWD LLC is represented by Darren Quinn of the Law Offices of Darren J. Quinn.
