Vitamin Shoppe files trademark suit

North Bergen, N.J. – Vitamin Shoppe has announced that on Nov. 21, 2013 it filed suit against law firm Seeger Weiss LLP in New York federal court. Vitamin Shoppe argues that Seeger Weiss is infringing on the company's trademarks on a website designed to solicit plaintiffs for a class-action lawsuit over alleged misrepresentations related to its Bodytech protein supplements and is being harmed by unauthorized use of its trademarks.



Vitamin Shoppe is asking for a permanent injunction against further use of its trademarks, damages, and transfer of the registration of the Vitaminshoppeprotein.com domain to the company, as well as costs and attorney fees.
