: Legal Pad | LASettlement reached in surf club trademark suit
By Richard Binder
In December 2008 the Santa Cruz Surfing Club Preservation Society sued Ryan Rittenhouse for trademark infringement when he trademarked the club's logo and historical photos as his own in 2006. The suit alleged that Rittenhouse had profited from the trademark with T-shirts, photo replicas and other paraphernalia and did not share any of the money with the club.
Years of settlement meetings followed, including a motion in April of last year to dismiss the complaint. The motion, filed by Rittenhouse's attorney, James Chadwick with the Menlo Park law firm Sheppard, Mullin, Richter and Hampton, said Rittenhouse protected the name and logo, which had not been trademarked.
The suit was finally settled yesterday, with the two sides agreeing that the Santa Cruz Surfing Club Preservation Society could be renamed the Santa Cruz Surfing Club. The club will have all the rights to the name and logo, and Rittenhouse will turn over his operation to a third party and receive an undisclosed amount for future sales.
The club was represented by global law firm Gibson, Dunn and Crutcher, which took the case pro bono.
