Narrative Opinion Summary
The trial court's order denying appellants’ motion to dissolve both the temporary and permanent injunction is affirmed due to the substantial evidence supporting the trial judge’s findings that appellee demonstrated a significant likelihood of success in its trademark infringement case. Additionally, appellee established the necessary likelihood of irreparable harm to justify the injunction. Although the appellants argued that the injunction bond amount of $1,000 was inadequate to cover potential damages, they did not request a modification of the bond amount during the trial. Instead, they claimed entitlement to attorney’s fees exceeding the bond if their dissolution motion was granted. The court affirmed the decision while allowing appellants the opportunity to file a motion to modify the bond amount. The ruling is unanimously concurred by Judges Ervin, Van Nortwick, and Browning.
