Fred's has been at the center of a recent lawsuit against online clothing stores.
Fred's Fish Fry filed a trademark infringement lawsuit against the creator of a viral mock San Antonio Spurs/Fred's Fish City Edition jersey design, alleging he illegally partnered with an online store to sell jerseys depicting the restaurant's trademark red-white-and-blue pattern.
Bexar County Social Apparel and nearly 20 other online stories are listed as defendants along with Adrian Galvan, the artist who came up with the design. The complaint states Fred's owns trademark rights on its name and discernible logo, and alleges those shops are breaking the law by "confusing consumers into believing" the products – which on some stores includes pint glasses, T-shirts and fleece blankets – are affiliated with Fred's Fish Fry.
The lawsuit is seeking a jury trial, as well as payment of "all profits attributable" to the restaurant's trademarked designs.
Mike Baez of Bexar County Social Apparel, which received a cease-and-desist letter from the Spurs legal team, is also named in the lawsuit. In a statement to KENS 5, Baez denied "any affiliation" with Galvan or Wade and Williamson.
"We assert our position in response to the alleged trademark infringement lawsuit," Baez said in the statement. "Following a cease-and-desist notice from the San Antonio Spurs, we promptly halted the sale of T-shirts and are committed to addressing the concerns raised, ensuring compliance with intellectual property rights. We expect a fair and satisfying outcome for all parties involved."
