WILLIAMSPORT – A federal judge has ordered a Florida businessman who maintains he holds the trademark for Penn State Nittany Lion Beer to pay the university $17,447 to cover legal fees.
It is the second time U.S. Middle District Judge Jennifer P. Wilson has sanctioned Paul L. Parshall, 80, of Naples, for failing to comply with her orders.
She ordered him in May 2020 to pay attorneys representing Penn State $9,493 because he failed to provide the required discovery material. The university requested attorney fees in both instances.
On Thursday, Wilson ordered Parshall to pay the $17,447 for violating her court orders of March 27 and May 18, 2020.
