RememberSchiff Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 The Girl Scouts agreed to drop its appeal of the April (NY federal court trademark) ruling as part of the settlement, and both sides agreed to drop related trademark proceedings in other courts and before the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board. They also agreed to cooperate on the commercial terms of scouting trademarks in the future, according to the court filing. The settlement did not include any payment by either side. No mention of legal expenses incurred for this.

RememberSchiff Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 According to MarketWatch, some settlement details The bankrupt Boy Scouts said the proposed settlement includes the Girl Scouts dropping its appeal (NY federal judge ruling in April which they lost), withdrawing its opposition to the Boy Scouts proposed reorganization, and dropping its roughly $11 million claim in the bankruptcy. The Boy Scouts will withdraw a motion in the district court case that roughly $16 million of its legal fees and expenses be covered. Settlement terms also include the Boy Scouts not using "girls" before "scouts," and not doing cookie fundraisers. The Girl Scouts can't do any fundraising involving popcorn. https://www.marketwatch.com/story/girl-scouts-and-bankrupt-boy-scouts-settle-trademark-dispute-271658794860 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Girl Scouts have neither a monopoly of scouts who are girls nor cookies sold by scouts. We have talked about selling GF, non-dairy snacks, e.g., power bars, cookies. https://www.otisspunkmeyer.com/blog/teaching-leadership-responsibility-and-life-skills My $0.02, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
