Smile More Case Watch ⚖️ by Jermball

Case tracked: Smile More Intellectual Holdings, LLC v. American Eagle Outfitters, Inc. and The Smiley Company (Smileyworld Limited), U.S. District Court, Middle District of Florida (Orlando), No. 6:26-cv-02240-PGB-CAB, filed Sept 25, 2026. Judge Paul G. Byron, Magistrate Judge Chauncey A. Bratt. Claim: Lanham Act trademark infringement (15 U.S.C. 1125), jury demanded. Plaintiff's lawyer: Benjamin Haynes (Haynes Law Group).

Key question: a federal SMILE MORE registration was reportedly cancelled June 5, 2024 for a missed maintenance filing, while the plaintiff's lawyer says Smile More holds incontestable marks, so which rights are asserted matters. Atwood says AE was the only brand of 10,000+ that refused to pull Smile More items (a creator claim).
