The California State Court of Appeals, Second District, ruled in favor of Foster Poultry Farm, Inc. on Tuesday, affirming the Superior Court of Los Angeles County decision, that Foster Poultry Farms can use the American Humane Association’s logo to say that its products are “American Humane Certified,” despite allegations that the company is not humane to its animals.
According to the court’s opinion, in order to display American Humane’s trademark a company must comply with the association’s standards and pay a trademark licensing fee. Foster Farms reportedly participates in the program and places the logo on its products which are sold in California.
