Our Litigator of the Week is Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr partner Louis Tompros, who persuaded a federal jury in Detroit on January 18 to reject a $130 million trademark infringement claim over use of the word “Defender.”
Going to trial was a bold move. In Europe, his client Bombardier Recreational Products faced an all-but-identical suit by Jaguar Land Rover and lost. But Tompros had confidence that U.S. trademark law was different—and the jury proved him right.
