Jury Rules for Biltmore in Trademark Infringement Suit
A federal jury ruled that an Asheville company, Nu U Inc., willfully infringed on The Biltmore Company’s trademark rights by creating a wedding business that used the Biltmore name. Roberts & Stevens attorney Wyatt Stevens represented Biltmore, which sought an injunction for Nu U to cease use of the Biltmore name and domain name. The jury also found Nu U had engaged in cybersquatting by registering multiple web addresses with the words Biltmore or some variation.
