Belk, Inc. v. Meyer Corp., U.S.

This case stemmed from the dispute between Meyer and Belk regarding the design, creation, marketing, and profitability of high-end cookware. At the conclusion of trial, the district court entered judgment in accordance with the jury's verdict in favor of Meyer on its claims of trade dress infringement and unfair and deceptive trade practices. On appeal, Belk asserted that the district court erred in numerous respects, including its failure to recognize the sufficiency of the evidence to support Meyer's claims and other errors relating to evidentiary and legal rulings. The court held that Belk's failure to move pursuant to Rule 50(b) forfeited the sufficiency of the evidence challenge on appeal. Finding no error on the issues that were properly preserved, the court affirmed the judgment of the district court. View "Belk, Inc. v. Meyer Corp., U.S." on Justia Law
