On July 13, 2012, Polyguard Products filed a lawsuit (available here) in the Northern District of Texas alleging that Henry Company has improperly claimed that Polyguard is infringing Henry’s trademark rights. Polyguard claims it owns trademarks to AIRLOK and AIRLOK FLEX, and that Henry Company sells products under the mark AIR-BLOC, which has recently obtained a trademark registration number.
Polyguard filed the lawsuit after receiving a letter from Henry Company asserting that Polyguard’s use of its AIRLOK mark is likely to cause confusion with Henry Company’s AIR-BLOC mark. Polyguard seeks, among other things, a declaratory judgment of non-infringement of trademarks.
Judge Godbey has been assigned the case.
Polyguard is represented by Jack Kanz, of the Law Office of Jack A. Kanz; and John Cone and Megan M O’Laughlin, both of Hitchcock Evert LLP.
Henry Company has been represented by Jordan LaVine of Flaster Greenberg.
