Keds sues competitor
Lexington sneaker brand Keds, whose shoes sport a signature rectangular blue label on their heels, has filed a federal trademark infringement lawsuit against Vans.
Keds alleges its Cypress, Calif.-based competitor is selling sneakers with a similar rectangular blue design on their heels — in violation of a 2012 settlement agreement that ended similar litigation in 2011. Keds was issued a trademark for the blue label in 1959, but has continuously used it since 1925, according to documents filed in U.S. District Court in Boston yesterday.
Senate OKs domestic workers bill
The state Senate has unanimously passed legislation to create a "bill of rights" for nannies, caregivers and other domestic workers by establishing labor standards and other worker protections.
The bill approved yesterday would define domestic workers as individuals who provide a range of in-home services such as housekeeping, laundering, cooking and providing home companionship.
The bill would also make clear that domestic workers are eligible for government services and benefits such as unemployment insurance, workers compensation and minimum wage protections. It would set rules for sleep, meal and rest periods, as well as requiring that female domestic workers receive at least eight weeks maternity leave if they are full-time employees.
38 Studios lawyers object to delay
Defendants in the 38 Studios lawsuit vs. the state of Rhode Island said Gov. Lincoln Chafee's office has delayed the production of documents and want a judge to order them turned over.
Lawyers for the defendants call the documents critical and say they're needed to go forward with depositions. They want Judge Michael Silverstein to order them produced by May 23.
Chafee's office hasn't yet filed a response.
The governor's office was subpoenaed for records in October and has produced thousands of pages so far. 38 Studios, founded by ex-Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling, went bankrupt after getting a $75 million state-backed loan.
