Diversey Wins Summary Judgment in Trademark Infringement Suit

United States - Illinois

Diversey, Inc., a leading provider of sustainable cleaning and hygiene solutions, won full summary judgment in a trademark infringement suit related to its HYDROX general purpose cleaner. The case, which involved assertions of federal and common law trademark infringement and unfair competition, was venued in the Northern District of Illinois. In its summary judgment ruling, the court found that Diversey had demonstrated that there was no evidence on which a reasonable trier of fact could find a likelihood of confusion.
