Federal Court rules in
favor of Lionel trains
-
Judge rules against
M.T.H. Electric Trains request for injunction
CHESTERFIELD, MI -- June 19, 2000
-- Lionel, L.L.C. announced today
that it has successfully defended against
a request for injunctive
relief filed by M.T.H. Electric Trains in the
Eastern District Court
of
Michigan. The Court turned down the M.T.H.'s
request in a ruling
it announced in Court on June 14, 2000.
MTH filed
a lawsuit against Lionel in the Eastern District of
Michigan this year,
claiming, among other things, that Lionel knew, or should
have known, that a
sub-contractor doing independent design work for
Korea Brass, a Korean
supplier for Lionel, allegedly used M.T.H.
drawings to aid in the design of
Lionel locomotives. It claimed theft
of its trade secrets. Its claims were
highly publicized, and the
subject of a number of MTH press releases.
In the lawsuit, MTH sought to have the court issue an injunction
preventing Lionel from importing and selling any products made by
Lionel supplier Korea Brass. The court ruling turning down MTH's
request was made
following a lengthy hearing, during which Mike Wolf,
the CEO of MTH,
testified.
Richard N. Maddox, Lionel president & COO, would not
elaborate on the
details of the favorable decision of the court, but did
say, "We were
confident that the Federal Court would rule on the facts and
turn
down the M.T.H. request. We truly believe that this type of action
by
M.T.H. is harmful to our industry. Market success should be achieved
through competition, not through the press or the courts."
Lionel
remains an American icon that designs, manufactures and
markets train
sets for children and limited-edition trains and accessories
for
hobbyists and collectors. Lionel trains are among the most valued toy
trains in the market today, being collected or operated by over
100,000
toy train hobbyists. The success of Lionel is the result of
a 100-year
tradition of painstaking attention to quality. Lionel sells
its products
through a nationwide distributor and dealer network, the
largest in
existence today.
Today, the Lionel legend continues to move towards the
21st century,
providing kids and "kids at heart" with the finest
quality toy trains.
Thanks to a history of innovation and quality, Lionel -- the
world-renowned manufacturer and marketer of electric toy trains -- is
as timeless
as the trains it produces.
