Recently in the Eastern District of North Carolina (5:14-CV-217-BO), United States District Judge Terrence W. Boyle ordered Walmart Stores to disgorge to Variety Stores, Inc. over $32,000,000 in profits after having previously found Walmart to have willfully infringed on a trademark owned by Variety Stores. Variety Stores was represented at trial by Thad Adams, Alex Long and Christina Trimmer of Shumaker, Loop & Kendrick’s Charlotte, NC office. Robert L. Klein, Chairman of Applied Marketing Science, Inc., provided consulting and expert testimony to rebut the surveys conducted by two of Walmart’s experts in this matter.
