The Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America have filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court in Hammond after a regional gas station called Luke’s Oil Co. failed to remove the trademark OU Kashruth symbol from its logo.
The OU symbol indicates that food is kosher and supervised as such by the Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations.
Having registered the symbol as a trademark, the Rabbinic Authority are relying on trademark infringement as a quick and efficient way to have the false certification removed.

Teva Women’s Health has filed suit in the US District Court for New Jersey, claiming that Lupin had filed an abbreviated new drug application (ANDA) with the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) which infringes the patents of Seasonale, an oral contraceptive owned by Teva since they bought out Barr last year for $7.6 billion. The purpose of the suit is to prevent sales of the infringing drug.
Seasonale limits the number of menstrual periods women have in a year from 12 (monthly) to 4 (seasonally). the drug has annual sales in the US, exceeding $120 million.
