‘A 6-Pack of Victories for CirTran/Play Bev
in Legal Battles with Playboy’
CirTran Corporation (OTC BB:CIRC) said today that a federal
court in Illinois has reaffirmed an earlier decision to dismiss a
complaint brought by Playboy Enterprises against Play Beverages, a
partner of CirTran Beverages.
Playboy had sued Play Beverages in an effort to stop it from
distributing and selling Playboy Energy Drink
(www.PlayboyEnergy.com), including use of the famous rabbit
trademark. In May, Judge Robert W. Gettleman of the United States
District Court for the Northern District of Illinois Eastern
Division denied Playboy’s motion to enjoin Play Beverages from
selling Playboy Energy Drink. Now, Judge Gettleman has dismissed
the entire case in favor of the state court lawsuit brought by Play
Beverages against Playboy last year in Cook County, Illinois.
“This ‘win’ gives CirTran and PlayBev a 6-pack of victories in
our legal battles with Playboy,” said Iehab J. Hawatmeh, managing
partner of Play Beverages and founder, chairman and president of
CirTran.
“This result is very satisfying as we continue to grow our
beverage distribution business with Playboy Energy as the
flagship,” he said.
“Beverage sales in 20 countries in Asia, the Middle East,
Africa, the U.S., South America, Europe and Canada represent a
large percentage of CirTran revenues,” Mr. Hawatmeh said. “Now,
with this behind us, we will continue to concentrate our efforts
and resources on growing that business.”
