Trader Joes wins appeal to sue an employee union over trademarks

A federal appeals court on Monday revived a Trader Joes lawsuit accusing a fledgling employee union of trademark infringement for selling T-shirts, buttons, mugs, and reusable tote bags that feature the grocery chains distinctive red typeface and logo.
