July, 13, 2020 – United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit issued a Temporary Stay Order stopping a District Court Judge’s preliminary injunction Order against Team Rubicon Global, Ltd. (“TRG”) which is represented by KBS. See attached Second Circuit Court of Appeals Temporary Stay Order for details.
TRG, is an international disaster relief non-profit involved in a federal trademark dispute against Team Rubicon, Inc. (“TR-USA”). The Temporary Stay Order at the Court of Appeals was critical for KBS’s client TRG. The District Court Judge’s preliminary injunction Order against TRG prevented TRG from performing international disaster relief operations with its sublicensees, including but not limited to, current relief work directed towards the Covid-19 pandemic. The Court of Appeals’ Temporary Stay Order has temporarily suspended the District Court’s preliminary injunction which irreparably harmed TRG and TRG’s charitable operations.
