Item 8.01Other Events.

 

As previously reported, on November 30, 2012, BOLDFACE Group, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a complaint for a declaratory judgment in the United States District Court for the Central District of California, Western Division, against By Lee Tillett, Inc. (“Tillett”), relating to the Company’s “KHROMA BEAUTY” trademark, and on January 9, 2013, Tillett filed an answer and counterclaim against the Company and others.

 

On March 11, 2013, the United States District Court for the Central District of California, Western Division, granted Tillett’s motion for a preliminary injunction against the Company that would prevent us from using the KHROMA BEAUTY trademark or any mark that is confusingly similar to “KROMA” within the United States in connection with cosmetics goods and services. However, the court stayed the enforcement of the injunction for seven days to allow the Company to appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit and seek a further stay from the Ninth Circuit pending the appeal.  We filed a notice of appeal and motion for stay pending appeal on March 18, 2013, and as a result the stay of the preliminary injunction will remain in effect until the Ninth Circuit rules on the Company’s motion.  Tillett has 10 days, or until March 28 to file an opposition.

 

The court has not issued any final decision on the merits. If and when the stay is lifted, the preliminary injunction will remain in effect until a final decision on the merits is reached.  While the injunction, if it goes into effect, would require the Company to stop future product shipments, advertising and marketing using the KHROMA BEAUTY mark, it would not require us to recall or otherwise pull any already shipped products from shelves in any stores, as erroneously reported in numerous publications.
