LAFAYETTE – A Rayne corporation claims a Michigan corporation has been using its trademarks on rings.
Interco Tire Corporation filed a complaint on Feb. 27 in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Louisiana against KB Titanium Designs Inc., doing business as Titanium-Buzz.com, alleging trademark infringement.
