Summary:      The plaintiff filed a motion for temporary restraining order and/or preliminary injunction, arguing that the defendants should be enjoined and restrained from using the mark “NOKOTA” in any way, including at a pending roundup sale of horses. The Court granted the plaintiff’s motion for temporary restraining order, finding that the Dataphase factors weigh in favor of the issuance of a temporary restraining order.
