Plaintiff, a California corporation, has used the registered SUNWORKS trademark since 2010 in connection with installation, maintenance and repair of solar energy systems.

Defendant has operated a solar energy equipment supplier called “Sunworks” in Jackson County, Oregon since 2011.

Plaintiff alleges instances of actual confusion and that Defendant’s operations in Jackson County are an impediment to Plaintiff’s “long standing plan for market expansion.” Defendant has refused to discontinue use of its trademark.

Stay tuned for updates.

Since 2013, Plaintiff has operated a Portland vape shop/lounge on West Burnside Street called Vape Spot.

In August 2016, Plaintiff became aware that Defendant had opened a VapeSpot on SE Division Street. Daily instances of confusion and an unsolicited call from Captain Amsterdam regarding Kratom – a product apparently being investigated by the FDA -led to this trademark lawsuit.

Bio-energy facility accused of stealing and modifying software written in “German-lish” relic code

01 Friday Jul 2016

The Plaintiff is an Austrian bank enforcing the claims of an insolvent Austrian company, Entec, that designed and built a bio-energy facility in Junction City, Oregon. Successful operation of the facility relied on some proprietary software, which in turn required a paid license. This dispute arises out of, among other things, the facility’s failure to pay the license fee. There is also an allegation that the software was illegally accessed and modified, perhaps to make the software operate with payment or to make it more functional.

The Defendants, the facility and a consultant firm, are accused of failure to pay for the installation of a software program, making unauthorized modifications to the software program, and ongoing use of the software program without a paid license.

The software code is described in the Exhibits as “written in German-lish [sic] and in a manner to intentionally create dependency and with a multitude of relic code.”

Plaintiff Pinnacle Alliance Group, LLC (“Pinnacle”) owns the copyright on architectural plans and designs for a senior housing facility originally planned for Sisters, Oregon. In 2011, after spending upwards of $700,000 studying the site and preparing original layouts, Pinnacle submitted their plans to the City of Sisters for review and approval. The plans were also submitted to Ageia Health Services during negotiations for Ageia to serve as the management company for the future senior center. In 2013, Pinnacle lost its opportunity to develop the site and now they allege that Defendant Ambient Architecture (d/b/a Ascent) obtained the copyrighted blueprints. Exhibit A is some of the Pinnacle plan and Exhibit B is the plan that Ascent prepared for a different developer. Pinnacle is asking for $700,000, to cover the money already spent, as well as all profits that Ascent earned on this project.
