Publisher Description

In this trademark infringement case, defendants Elvisly Yours, Inc., Elvisly Yours, Ltd., an English corporation, and Sid Shaw (collectively referred to as "Shaw") appeal the grant of summary judgment and entry of a permanent injunction in favor of plaintiff Elvis Presley Enterprises, Inc. ("EPE"). The District Court held that EPE was entitled to prevail on its claims of infringement of state and federal trademarks and its claim of violation of EPE's common law and statutory rights of publicity. The District Court also rendered judgment in favor of EPE on Shaw's counterclaims against EPE. Shaw asserts three errors: (1) the District Court denied Shaw's asserted equitable defenses of acquiescence and laches without allowing sufficient discovery to enable Shaw to effectively rebut EPE's summary judgment motion; (2) the District Court sua sponte granted summary judgment on Shaw's supplemental counterclaim; and (3) the scope of the injunction is too broad. We AFFIRM except with respect to the scope of the injunction. We REMAND to the District Court with directions to modify the injunction.
