On September 7, 2012, Mi Cocina filed its lawsuit (available here) against Martin Solis-Martinez, in the Northern District of Texas. Mi Cocina claims that the defendant is using the mark MI COCINA HONDURENA for restaurant services, which is confusing similar to Mi Cocina’s MI COCINA marks. Mi Cocina asserts causes of action for federal trademark infringement and Texas common law unfair competition and dilution.
Mi Cocina is represented by Thomas McElyea, of the Benenati Law Firm, P.C.
