Allstar Products Group Awarded Preliminary Injunction in Trademark and Copyright Infringement Case

HAWTHORNE, N.Y., July 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Allstar Products Group today announced that it has been awarded a preliminary injunction in a patent and trademark suit protecting its Topsy Turvy^® brand. The preliminary injunction was handed down by the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, barring defendants Nostalgic Images Inc., Original TV Products Inc. and As Seen on TV LLC from making, selling or advertising products that infringe upon the Topsy Turvy^® trademark owned by Allstar Products Group's partner Felknor Ventures LLC.

"We are pleased that the Court saw fit to issue this injunction, and are committed to protecting Allstar customers, products and our reputation by enforcing the company's intellectual property rights," commented Jennifer De Marco, General Counsel for Allstar Products Group.  De Marco noted that Allstar Products Group will continue to pursue monetary damages and permanent injunctive relief in conjunction with the suit.

The Topsy Turvy^® Upside Down Planter is used by millions of people, from the novice to the professional gardener, and is the only product that features a patented Grow Bag technology.  This technology allows the planter to act as a greenhouse, so the soil stays warm after sundown, stimulating and enhancing root growth.  Because the Topsy Turvy^® planter is upside down, water and nutrients pour directly from the root to the fruit or vegetable, making the growing process more efficient than standard in-ground gardens.
