The city attorneys sent a letter to Mike and Bridge Tatum on Monday to demand the company stop selling the products related to the Double Decker festival.
However, according to City officials, Oxford T-Shirt ignored the order, and were still selling the merchandises and even advertising the T-shirts on their official Facebook page on Monday night.
The city insists that even though the company did not use the identical words of trademark, “injunctive relief is appropriate where the meaning is so similar that under the circumstances its use reasonably calculated to deceive and result in injury.”
In north Mississippi "Double Decker" has held a special meaning for over 20 years.
The temporary restraining order will be effective until May 5th.
