It is Flowers, LLC's position that consumers deserve the right to choose between any number of floral delivery options, and that placing a sponsored ad, which in no way uses the Plaintiff’s trademarks, does not constitute infringement. A recent decision by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals (Network Automation, Inc. v. Advanced Sys. Concepts, Inc.) supports Flowers, LLC’s position. Through the O’Connell Law Office, in Arlington, Massachusetts, Flowers, LLC intends to defend its position on its own behalf and on behalf of each other advertiser seeking fairness in the marketplace.
