Dexas Sues Progressive For Trademark Infringement In Northern District of Texas

On June 26, 2013, Dexas, a leader in cutting boards, sued Progressive International Corp. (complaint available here) for trademark infringement. Dexas claims that Progressive infringes its CHOP & SCOOP trademark by Progressive’s “use of the mark ‘Chop and Scoop’ on a kitchen utensil that is designed to be a ‘quick way to cut and transfer food from cutting board to hot pan mess-free’.” Dexas asserts that Progressive has committed trademark infringement, unfair competition, and common law unfair competition.
