A Missouri federal judge on Friday tossed Build-A-Bear Workshop’s lawsuit seeking a declaration that its new Skoosherz stuffed toy line doesn’t infringe trade dress rights claimed by Kelly Toys’ popular Squishmallows, finding that the Missouri court doesn’t have jurisdiction over the IP dispute, which is also being litigated in California. In an eight-page decision, U.S. District Judge Matthew T. Schelp agreed with defendant Kelly Toys Holdings LLC that the Missouri federal court lacks personal jurisdiction to decide Build-A-Bear Workshop’s claims seeking a judgment that its Skoosherz stuffed toys don’t infringe Kelly Toys’ trade dress rights.
Kelly Toys Holdings LLC and the other defendants in the Missouri suit are co-represented by Zachary D. Ludens of Zeb Law LLP.
