UFC-IFL Draw: Judge Denies Injunction, Extends TRO @ (Sherdog.com)
Dana doesn’t look too happy. Then again, he has a face only a mother could love (if she had glaucoma).
LAS VEGAS, March 2 — Judge Valerie Adair of the Nevada District Court issued a ruling extending the temporary restraining order against the International Fight League (IFL) pending the resolution of a narrowly crafted order between counsel for the plaintiff, Zuffa LLC, and attorneys for the IFL.
Unless both parties can come to a satisfactory arrangement regarding said order prior to March 15, both parties could be back in the Eighth Judicial District Court for a status check on the order.
I like the following quote from Judge Aldair:
As for the scope of what Zuffa claims are “trade secrets,” Adair made it clear that she had no problem figuring out the target demographic for an Ultimate Fighting patron, one of the broad assertions outlined by the Las Vegas-based promoter in its complaint.
“When this came in,” she told the court, “my law clerk came to my office and she said ‘OK, how old do you think the average [Ultimate Fighting patron] is?’ I got every single one correct except for the age, which I guessed was a 24-year-old male as opposed to a 26- [to] 30-year-old male. And so, you know, I don’t know that a lot of this — let’s face it, we’re not talking about the secret ingredient to Pepsi.”
So, from what I can gather, it looks like both sides will be in court again soon, Nothing was really officially settled. I, of course, will keep you posted.
