The suit seeks an injunction to stop Palliser from further infringing and “misappropriating” the Brando name and the recovery of damages caused by sales and marketing of the unlicensed products.

Filed on March 22, the lawsuit reflects the most recent attempt to settle the matter with Palliser. Previous efforts included repeated cease and desist demands issued over several months which ultimately resulted in the assertion from a Palliser executive claiming in a letter that the ‘Brando Chair’ was named after a tourist destination on Corsica in the Mediterranean Sea.
