Article Excerpt:

Last month, Pacific Wealth Management, LLC, filed suit against Pacific Wealth Management, Inc., alleging trademark infringement.

Yep, it’s about PACIFIC WEALTH MANAGEMENT.

The plaintiff, which filed suit in the Western District of Washington, alleges it owns a federal registration to its mark in connection with “investment advice, financial consultation, and financial planning.” The complaint claims the defendant uses the identical mark in connection with finance and estate planning services, which has resulted in actual consumer confusion.

The complaint adds that after raising the issue, defendant’s principal responded by stating: “PWM, Inc. has NO clients!!!!!! Sue me if you want, there are no assets and NO clients! What are you [a]fraid of, me stealing business?”
