On December 20, Eastern District Court Judge Fred Van Sickle issued a minute order imposing a preliminary injunction in Wendle Motors, Inc.’s case against Randolph and Renee Honkala. As Seattle Trademark Lawyer previously reported, the case arises out of Mr. Honkala’s alleged posting of “false and slanderous” information on the Internet about the Ford Mustang Shelby GT 500 convertible he had purchased from and returned to Wendle. Earlier this month, Judge Van Sickle granted Wendle a temporary restraining order prohibiting both parties from electronically disseminating information about each other.
