Reynolds Consumer Products Inc. cleared a hurdle on Thursday in a trademark and false advertising case against Handi-Foil Corp., a competitor that wants to eat away at Reynolds’ profits from its ubiquitous Reynolds Wrap aluminum foil.
In a summary judgment ruling, U.S. District Judge Liam O’Grady in Alexandria, Va., refused to toss claims that Handi-Foil engaged in false advertising by pitching its product as comparable to Reynolds Wrap. O’Grady also ruled as matter of law that Reynolds didn’t abandon its trademarks on Reynolds Wrap’s familiar design. The ruling is a win for John Froemming in the Washington office of Jones Day, who represents Reynolds. Handi-Foil is represented by attorneys at Kirkland & Ellis, including David Callahan and Robin McCue.
