The Battle Of Union Square
Abstract
Union Square Ventures, a Private Equity firm founded in 2003, filed a trademark infringement suit against Union Square Partners, another private equity firm founded in November 2006. Examines the possible impact that public litigation will have on the two firms. The impact of the litigation will be different for each firm because they are at dissimilar development stages and plan to employ distinct investment strategies. Also examines possible resolutions available to the management of the two funds.
