http://www.prweb.com/releases/2012/6/prweb9590036.htm
Mag Instrument, Inc. has filed suit against Larson Electronics' in California federal court for alleged trademark infringement. In its rambling 76-page court filing, Mag Instrument claims that Larson Electronics' continued use of Larson Electronics' Magnalight trademark infringes on Mag Instrument's family of trademarks, including the "Mag-Lite" mark. Larson Electronics asserts that its Magnalight trademark is a protectable trademark and that Larson Electronics' has priority in the use of its Magnalight trademark over any rights of Mag Instrument.
Larson Electronics has used its Magnalight trademark in conjunction with the manufacture and sale of Magnalight handheld lighting products continuously since 1973. Mag Instrument's federal and state trademark registrations indicate that Mag Instrument did not begin using its Mag-Lite trademark until 1979, six years later than the first use of the Magnalight trademark by Larson Electronics.
