LunaTrex name now defunct: Court orders team members to cease using logo
The Herald Bulletin
A federal judge ordered that members of a team competing to send a rover to the moon could not use the group’s originally trademarked name, LunaTrex.
Use of the LunaTrex name and logo was at issue since members of the group, which was competing for the Google Lunar X Prize, had a “falling out” in June, according to a court opinion written by Circuit Judge David F. Hamilton.
The plaintiff in the case was Anderson businessman Pete Bitar and his company, Air Buoyant LLC, who filed an injunction against defendant Mary Cafasso in an attempt to keep her from using the LunaTrex name and logo.
Subsequently, Cafasso filed an injuction herself, to keep Bitar from using the same trademarked intellectual property. According to Hamilton’s order, neither party can use the trademarks after his Dec. 1 decision.
