NY Entity Breached Agreement to Stop Using Amazon Trademarks: Suit

New York City entity Amazon Warranty Corp. (AWC) continues to infringe Amazon’s trademarks in violation of the Lanham Act and in a breach of a June 2021 settlement agreement to stop the infringement, alleged Amazon in a complaint Friday (docket 1:22-cv-08391) in U.S. District Court in Manhattan. AWC’s breach of the settlement agreement “has resulted in damages to Amazon,” it said. Monetary compensation for the breach “is inadequate to compensate” for its losses, it said, and Amazon “lacks an adequate remedy at law,” it said. In addition to monetary damages, Amazon “is entitled to an order for specific performance” of the agreement requiring AWC to cease all uses in commerce of the Amazon trademarks and turn over “ownership and control” of the AWC website domain to Amazon, as it agreed to do in 2021, it said. AWC didn’t comment Monday.
