In one of three parallel actions for trademark infringement involving competing paper towel manufacturers, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit examined the appropriate remedies that may be granted under the Lanham Act with respect to injunctive and monetary relief under §§ 1116 and 1117 of the Act, and sent the matter back to the district court to consider the implications of the Supreme Court decision in Octane Fitness ( IP Update , Vol. 17, No. 5). Georgia-Pacific Consumer Prods LP v. von Drehle Corp., Case No. 13-2003 (4th Cir., Mar. 30, 2015) (Niemeyer, J.) (Shedd, J., concurring in part and dissenting in part).
