On Wednesday, Judge Diane Gujarati of the Eastern District of New York sided with 3M Company in a suit against CovCare Inc. and its corporate affiliate Wooter Apparel Inc. The court’s order bars the defendants from selling 3M-branded N95 masks, using 3M’s associated trademarks, and falsely representing themselves as 3M product distributors. The Brooklyn, New York, court’s decision comes after 3M sought and was granted a temporary restraining order last month.
Judge Gujarati explained that 3M is a leading manufacturer of N95 masks in the United States. Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, demand for the masks and visibility of the brand have grown considerably, the opinion noted.
