Top Brand LLC v. Cozy Comfort Company LLC decided July 17, 2025

This case involves a dispute between Top Brand LLC ("Top Brand") and Cozy Comfort Company LLC ("Cozy Comfort"), competitors in the market for oversized hooded sweatshirts/wearable blankets. Cozy Comfort accused Top Brand of infringing its U.S. Design Patent No. D859,788 (the “D788 patent”) and two trademarks for “THE COMFY.” A jury initially found in favor of Cozy Comfort on both patent and trademark infringement, awarding significant damages. The Federal Circuit reversed the District Court's denial of Judgment as a Matter of Law (JMOL) for Top Brand on both the design patent and trademark infringement claims.
