How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- dismissing civil RICO claim predicated on alleged Hobbs Act extortion where defendants operated site critical of plaintiff that, among other things, sought to organize plaintiffs employees in a union
- no initial interest confusion because no consumer looking for a uniform company’s website would mistakenly visit a site called cintasexposed.org and because site’s content was transparent in its disdain for Cintas
- “Defendants' entire effort is directed at attacking Cintas. … Defendants are not using the “CINTAS” mark as a “source identifier”, but rather solely to criticize Cintas's corporate practices.”
