On June 1, the Libertarian National Committee filed this brief in Libertarian National Committee v Salika, e.d., 5:23cv-11074. There are competing factions among Michigan Libertarians, and the National Committee argues that the faction it recognizes can force the other faction to cease to exist under its name, because of trademark law.

This should be an interesting court case to follow. I look forward to reading the defendant faction’s response.
It’s a pointless and baseless lawsuit. The so-called trademarks the LNC is claiming has been in dispute (according to the USPTO) since 2013. In fact, USPTO is preparing to invalidate said trademarks, and that comes from several sources that I have contacted within USPTO.
Stupid is as stupid does.
