Mealey's (October 18, 2018, 11:25 AM EDT) -- YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio — An Ohio federal judge on Oct. 16 denied a motion to stay the enforcement of a preliminary injunction until an appeal of the order granting the franchisor’s motion for a preliminary injunction is decided because the defendant franchisees failed to present any new arguments to rebut the court’s prior finding that the franchisor demonstrated a high likelihood of success on its claims for trademark infringement, trade secret violations and irreparable harm (Handel’s Enterprises Inc. v. Kenneth S. Schulenburg, et al., No. 18-508, N.D. Ohio, 2018 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 177655)....
