Boca Raton lawyers Wayne H. Schwartz and Dori S. Solomon of Lee & Amtzis shielded mom-and-pop tobacco store The Smokers Edge from a trademark infringement lawsuit seeking up to $2 million over its sale of counterfeit water pipes—or “bongs” as they’re commonly known.

In a bench trial Feb. 7, U.S. District Judge Donald M. Middlebrooks found that although the West Palm Beach shop did sell knock-off versions of water pipes made by Amsterdam-based company RooR International BV, they weren’t on the hook for damages.
