Naperville and Chicago, IL — In a landmark decision that leveraged the firm’s prowess in intellectual property litigation, The Law Offices of Konrad Sherinian, LLC is proud to announce a significant legal victory on behalf of RGIFTS Limited. The court has denied a preliminary injunction sought by International Star Registry (ISR), which aimed to restrict RGIFTS from using common terms like STAR and REGISTRY in its branding, marking a major win in this multi-million-dollar dispute.
Background of the Case: The lawsuit centered on ISR’s claim that RGIFTS Limited’s use terms like STAR and REGISTRY infringed on their trademarks. ISR sought to further drive out competition from the star naming market by restricting the use of common terms vital to the industry.

The court’s ruling favored RGIFTS, reinforcing the principle that trademark law should not be used to monopolize common language.
