UL Wins Court Decision
Underwriters Laboratories Inc., has won a court decision restraining United Laboratories Inc., from any use of its form of UL mark or code. The judgment further prohibits United Laboratories from any other mark or code which would simulate the certification mark UL, either on or in conjunction with the manufacture and sale of its products.
The final ruling granted Underwriters Laboratories the injunction plus damages totalling to $150,000. The court deemed that payment was due for the wrongful profits that United Laboratories had gained through use of the UL mark and for UL’s attorney’s fees as compensatory damages.
