MEMPHIS, Tenn., Aug. 18 /PRNewswire/ -- A judge in United States District Court in Memphis today issued an order requiring a child care center located on Stage Road in Memphis, Tennessee, that had been using the names "Bright Horizons Academy," "Bright Horizons Learning Academy" and "Bright Horizons" to stop using the "Bright Horizons" name effective immediately.  The center on Stage Road is not affiliated with Bright Horizons Family Solutions®, the national leader in high-quality child care and early education which holds the registered trademark to the Bright Horizons® name.

The child care center on Stage Road in Memphis had been illegally using the trademarked name despite having been repeatedly advised and warned against it, beginning months before the center opened in February 2010.

"Bright Horizons Family Solutions® operates five child care centers in the State of Tennessee, including two in Memphis, as well as child care centers across the country.  We are a community of early educators, teachers, parents, and families committed to the highest quality care and education of young children.  Our parents and clients depend on that experience and reputation when making their decisions about entrusting their children in our care, and it is important that they can depend on that when they see the Bright Horizons® name," said Bright Horizons Family Solutions® Spokesperson Ilene Serpa.
