In Chicago Rabbinical Council v. Abdul Rehman Group, Inc., (ND IL, June 9, 2020), an Illinois federal district court awarded statutory damages of $1 million under the Lanham Trademark Act to the Chicago Rabbinical Council (“cRc”) in its suit against a company that was without authority applying a cRc logo to its food products, falsely indicating that they had been approved as kosher. The court also issued a broad injunction barring defendant from using the cRc logo in any way to mislead others into believing that its products were certified by cRc. Kosher Today reports on the decision.
