Winston-Salem Journal reports:
A Forsyth County District Court judge has approved a temporary no-contact order against a small electronic-cigarette retailer to stop him from harassing the law firm representing a subsidiary of Reynolds American Inc. in a trademark lawsuit.
The order was approved Thursday — a day after Chance Addison, owner of Addison E-Cigarette LLC of Spokane, Wash., appeared unannounced and uninvited at the offices of Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton LLP in downtown Winston-Salem.
Addison is trying to defy an attempt by Reynolds Innovations Inc. to stop him from marketing products similar to Reynolds’ Camel and Winston brands in taste or logo. The subsidiary filed the lawsuit in March.
Legal arguments aside, Addison’s behavior appears to be, to say the least, unprofessional— especially the email signed ‘Love, Chase.’
