Lizzie Borden House wants cafe to pay $239K for trademark violation

After defaulting on a federal trademark lawsuit against its neighbor, Miss Lizzie’s Coffee could be on the hook for almost a quarter-million dollars to the Lizzie Borden House.

 

Attorneys for U.S. Ghost Adventures on Monday, March 9, filed a motion for default judgment in U.S. District Court — its request for financial damages resulting from the lawsuit.

 

USGA has claimed that Miss Lizzie’s Coffee “deceptively confuses unsuspecting customers by creating a false association” with the Lizzie Borden House by using a name and logo similar to the house’s. The company claims the cafe? is getting a “free ride on [the Lizzie Borden House’s] success as a preeminent and well-known provider of hospitality services in Fall River.”
