The jury in a recent case heard that TikTok, the popular social media platform, is accused of infringing on the trademark of a company called “Stitch” and owes over $116 million in damages. The case was heard in the United States District Court in the Eastern District of Texas.

The lawsuit was filed by Stitch, a company that produces embroidery software. Stitch claims that TikTok used its trademarked logo without permission, which caused confusion among customers and damaged the company’s reputation. Stitch also claims that TikTok’s use of its logo was intentional and done with the intent to deceive customers.

During the trial, Stitch presented evidence that showed that TikTok had used its logo on several occasions, including in promotional videos and advertisements. The company also showed that it had sent cease-and-desist letters to TikTok, but that the social media platform had ignored them.

The jury heard testimony from both sides and viewed evidence presented by Stitch. After considering all of the evidence, the jury ruled in favor of Stitch and awarded the company $116 million in damages.

This case serves as a reminder to companies to be aware of their trademarks and to take action if they feel that another company is infringing on them. Companies should also be aware of their legal rights and take steps to protect their intellectual property. If a company believes that its trademark is being infringed upon, it should contact an experienced attorney who can help it protect its rights.
