Health your username 4 days ago Emphasizing the lack of relationship between the parties, the United States Department of Labor is suing Global Occupational Safety and Health Academy LLC (Global OSHA) for alleged trademark infringement, pointing out the similarity of the defendant’s moniker to that of the labor department’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). In its Tuesday complaint, the U.S. said that, since the 1970s, the names “Occupational Safety and Health Administration” and “OSHA” have been “uniquely associated” with the Department of Labor. Touting OSHA’s workplace standards, the complaint claimed that “OSHA is recognized as a national and international authority on occupational safety and health.” OSHA owns the registrations for the trademarks “OSHA” and “OSHA Training Institute Education Centers,” Registration Nos. 3305165 and 5356959, respectively, according to the complaint.
