DuPont Co. has dismissed a federal lawsuit accusing sports equipment maker Easton-Bell Sports of misusing the Kevlar trademark in packaging for bicycle tires and locks.
But the fight may not be over. DuPont's filing dismissing the lawsuit comes two days after a federal judge in California refused to dismiss or transfer to Delaware a lawsuit filed by Easton-Bell. In that lawsuit, the Scotts Valley, Calif., company sought a declaration that it is not infringing on DuPont's trademarks.
