NYP Holdings, Inc. v. UWE Boll
This action arises out of Defendants’ allegedly unlawful infringement of NYP’s valuable intellectual property associated with the famous newspaper, the New York Post and its website, www.nypost.com. To NYP’s detriment—and over its express objections—Defendants have misappropriated wholesale NYP’s copyrights, trademarks and trade dress on their websites, www.postal-themovie.com/mag, www.ny-postal.com and www.ny-postal.tk, in order to promote their film, Postal.
This conduct is especially pernicious because it suggests that NYP endorses the film. NYP does not. NYP simply requests that they not be allowed to abuse NYP’s intellectual property in the process. NYP seeks injunctive relief, damages, attorneys’ fees and such other relief as the Court deems proper.
