Prime Sues Amazon for Trade Mark Infringement


Relatively small Missouri based trucking company, Prime Inc., is suing Amazon over its โ€œPrimeโ€ shipping trailers.

The trucking company in a federal lawsuit, alleges that Amazon Primeโ€™s shipping trailer logo is โ€œconfusingly similarโ€ to the trucking companies own logo.

Prime Inc. further alleges that Amazon causes โ€œirreplaceable injuryโ€ to their company as they get mistakenly blamed when people have a bad experience with Amazon.

Prime Inc. also argues that it has built up โ€œsubstantial and valuable goodwillโ€ since the 1980s.ย  Amazon, on the other hand, has only been using their Prime logo for a few years to promote their Prime membership.
