A software company is pressing to revive its trademark infringement claims against Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc. for using the name of a real-life computer program in the Batman movie The Dark Knight Rises.
Lawyers for security software maker Fortres Grand Corporation, based in Plymouth, Ind., have asked the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit to give the company a second chance in its fight against Warner Bros. Fortres contends its sales of its Clean Slate software dropped in half after consumers mistakenly believed it was the same program mentioned in the 2012 Batman film.
