    United States District Court District of Connecticut

    UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT DISTRICT OF CONNECTICUT ILLINOIS TOOL WORKS INC., Plaintiff, v. No. 3:19-cv-01434 (JAM) J-B WELD COMPANY, LLC, Defendant. ORDER GRANTING MOTION FOR PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION This case arises at an uncommon intersection between the repair of car mufflers and principles of intellectual property law. For several decades now, plaintiff Illinois Tool Works Inc. (ITW) has trademarked the term “MUFFLER WELD” for a product it sells to seal cracks on car mufflers. But last year J-B Weld Company, LLC (J-B Weld) began to sell its own formulation of a muffler sealant using the mark “MufflerWeld.” In light of the similarity of these terms, ITW has now moved for a preliminary injunction to bar J-B Weld from continuing to market its product under the “MufflerWeld” name during the pendency of this litigation. ITW argues that it is likely to succeed on its trademark infringement claim and that it is being irreparably harmed. In response, J-B Weld argues that the difference in trade dress (packaging) between its product and ITW’s product defeats any claim of trademark infringement, and that ITW has not shown irreparable injury in any event. For the reasons described below, I will grant ITW’s motion for a preliminary injunction. BACKGROUND The facts relevant to this motion for a preliminary injunction are largely uncontested. ITW has, since 1976, sold a sealant for automotive exhaust systems under the name “MUFFLER WELD.” Doc. #4-2 at 1 (¶ 3) (“Agrafojo Decl.”). In 1977, the United States Patent and Trademark Office entered a trademark for MUFFLER WELD on the Principal Register, “for paste sealer for repairing muffler holes,” noting that the application disclaimed the word “muffler” aside from the mark as shown.

These institutions – certified by the CDFI Fund as community development financial institutions or CDFIs – are able to respond to gaps in local markets that traditional financial institutions are not adequately serving. CDFIs provide critically needed capital, credit and other financial products in addition to technical assistance to community residents and businesses, service providers, and developers working to meet community needs. For more information about the CDFI Fund and its programs, please visit the Fund’s website at: http://www.cdfifund.gov. About the Community Development Financial Institutions Fund’s Financing Healthy Food Options Track The CDFI Fund is providing training and technical assistance to CDFIs that are engaged in, or wish to become engaged in, healthy food financing activities. The CDFI Fund is offering a series of training workshops focused on the key elements of financing healthy food projects. There will be a total of eight training sessions held throughout the country in 2011 and 2012, with three different healthy food finance tracks offered: 1) farms and food production; 2) mid-tier food chain enterprises (e.g., food aggregation; food processing; food distribution); and 3) food retailers. At each session, trainers with practical experience and expertise will lead participants to drill down into the specific fundraising, underwriting, and loan management skills required for successful healthy food projects in low-income communities.

    Retail Market Analysis Focuses on Two Primary Trade Larger Trade Area Than One with Significant Regional Areas (Pmas): Competition

    MONTGOMERY PLANNING market STUDIES aspen hill minor master plan amendment May 2015 ASPEN HILL MINOR MASTER PLAN AMENDMENT Retail Feasibility Study RESEARCH & SPECIAL PROJECTS DIVISION Montgomery County Planning Department April 15, 2014 INTRODUCTION This report was prepared in support of the Aspen Hill Minor Master Plan Amendment and assesses the market potential for retail uses within the Minor Amendment area. It is aimed at addressing two key concerns: • Determining the amount of unmet retail demand within the Aspen Hill Trade Area and, consequently, the type of retail space that could be supported. • Evaluating the impact to existing retailers from new retail development on the BAE/ Vitro site that could potentially undermine existing businesses and create vacancies in nearby shopping centers. METHODOLOGY AND ASSUMPTIONS This analysis seeks to determine the economic feasibility of retail development in the Minor Amendment area by assessing the overall retail market in Aspen Hill. In order to quantify the amount of new retail space that could be supported, annual retail expenditures by residents (demand) were compared to estimated retail sales from businesses (supply). Uncaptured sales represent the retail gap or “leakage” that could be used to support additional retail development. The study evaluated retail market potential among all retail categories and, in accordance with surrounding land uses, identified the potential type of retail and its format, which could be supported by the findings. The Minor Master Plan Application (MMPA) submitted by the BAE/Vitro property owner in 2012 that triggered this larger planning effort states that a prospective tenant is interested in building a 118,000 square foot (SF) big-box department store on the BAE/Vitro site; with a roughly equivalent mix between general merchandise and groceries.

    Understanding Trader Joe's

    Understanding Trader Joe’s May 2006 Coriolis Research Ltd. is a strategic market research firm founded in 1997 and based in Auckland, New Zealand. Coriolis primarily works with clients in the food and fast moving consumer goods supply chain, from primary producers to retailers. In addition to working with clients, Coriolis regularly produces reports on current industry topics. Recent reports have included an analysis of Retail Globalization: Who’s Winning” and “Understanding Costco.” The coriolis force, named for French physicist Gaspard Coriolis (1792-1843), may be seen on a large scale in the movement of winds and ocean currents on the rotating earth. It dominates weather patterns, producing the counterclockwise flow observed around low-pressure zones in the Northern Hemisphere and the clockwise flow around such zones in the Southern Hemisphere. It is the result of a centripetal force on a mass moving with a velocity radially outward in a rotating plane. In market research it means understanding the big picture before you get into the details. PO BOX 10 202, Mt.

  • Post Pesach Supermarket Shopping

    Post Pesach Supermarket Shopping

    Post Pesach Supermarket Shopping There is much ado every year as to where one can shop immediately following Pesach, how long the restrictions apply for and to what products. I hope this is found to be enlightening. In order to properly understand the halachic implications we must first elucidate the basic supermarket structure. The general chain supermarket model is as follows: Manufacturer → Distributor → Supermarket Warehouse → Individual Supermarket In terms of Halacha, Chametz that was owned by a Jew on Pesach is forbidden. ‘Chametz’, for the purpose of this exercise is a product with either a kezayis (1.1 fluid ounces) of Chametz or more than 1/60th of the final cooked product is Chametz. Therefore, if any company in the chain is owned by a Jew, and owned the Chametz on Pesach, it would be forbidden to eat on Pesach. Publicly held companies that have a partial Jewish ownership are the subject of Rabbinic dispute, but the commonly accepted view is that of the Zecher Yitzchak (8) that although minority shareholders are required to sell their Chametzdike shares before Pesach it does not render the Chametz forbidden after Pesach. Now the facts: Manufacturers obviously vary from product to product but almost all products found in the average supermarket are manufactured by publicly held companies. Distributors buy tremendous amounts of food from the Manufacturers and then distribute to the national chains. C&S Wholesale Grocers is a wholesale distributor of food and grocery store items. With headquarters in Keene, New Hampshire, C&S is the twelfth largest privately held company in the United States, as listed in 2008 by Forbes.
