Heading1 HeadingZ Font IE Paragraph IE Styles Scenario: Project Fact Pattern You are working as a paralegal at the law firm of Howard & Mills, P.C. in Charlotte, North Carolina. Six months ago, you worked with the Managing Partner (Lisa Howard) on the incorporation of a new firm client, Sweet Lorraine's Bakery, LLC. Sweet Lorraine's Bakery, LLC (\"SLB\") is a family owned business located in Charlotte. The bakery specializes in French and Italian-inspired pastries, cakes, cookies and artisan breads. In addition to the daily menu they have available in their one store location (they have a website, but no online business), they also create occasion cakes by order(wedding cakes, etc.). In addition to the website, SIB has a Facebook page and a Twitter account. All advertising takes place through these social media sites and also by word of moutI'LSLB officially opened its doors six months ago and things have been going very well. Recently, however, the client received a nasty email from a gentleman by the name of Greg Sawyer. l'flI'. Sawyer is the Vice President of Sweet Lorraine's, LLC located in Detroit, Michigan. Mir. Sawyer and his wife operate Sweet Lorraine's Cafe and Bar in Detroit. Sweet Lorraine's Cafe and Bar is a restaurant that specializes in American fare and also includes some baked goods on its menu. Sweet Lorraine' s Caf and Bar has a website through which salad dressings and apparel items are sold across the country. Apparently, the latest ventur heir. Sawyer and his wife are pursuing is a franchise of macaroni and cheese establishments called \"Sweet Lorraine' Mac n' Cheez Kitchen.\" Presently, Mr. and Nlrs. Sawyer have two mac n' cheese establishments open in two Detroit suburbs and they allegedly have received interest from an individual in North Carolina (location not identified) about extending their franchise into this state. hit. Sawyer reached out to our client because he and his wife have a trademark on the phrase \"Sweet Lorraine's\" for all restaurants, catering and baking services in the United States. That the Sawyers have this trademark has been confirmed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. IVIr. Sawyer has demanded that our client change the name of her business. If she does not, he has threatened to commence litigation against her in federal district court. The client has come to us for advice on: (1) whether Mr. Sawyer would be like] to succeed on his clain'l of trademark infringement; (2) what type of damages the client might face if Mr. Sawyer sues and wins (i.e., what is the worst case scenario); and (3) whether in light of your analysis of the above questions, the client should change the name of her business or stand firm. Changing the name of the business is not something that should be taken lightly. Remember that the client has a lot of money and resources invested in the name of her business
