EMBARGO UNTIL SUBPOENAS SERVED
Ritter and Equipped To Survive Foundation Sue to Protect Trademark
Douglas Ritter and Equipped To Survive Foundation, Inc., owners of the Equipped To Survive trademark, today filed a lawsuit in Federal District Court in Phoenix, Arizona, against Christopher H. McKiernan and Kristen K. McKiernan of San Luis Obispo, California, doing business as Equipped to Survive, and Mayday Industries, Inc. of Huntington Beach, California, for trademark infringement.
The defendants have registered the Internet domains www.equippedtosurvive.com, www.equippedtosurvive.net and www.equippedtosurvive.org, have illegally applied for a federal trademark registration and have opened a business selling survival and emergency gear under the Equipped To Survive name and domains, infringing upon the long established trademark and name, Equipped To Survive™.
All attempts by Ritter and the Foundation to settle this matter amicably have been rebuffed, leaving no option but to pursue legal action.
UPDATE May 24, 2002: Ritter and Equipped To Survive Foundation Successfully Defend Trademark
