Citigroup Inc. and AT&T Inc. have ended their litigation over the latter’s use of the phrase “AT&T thanks” on a customer loyalty program, which the bank said was too similar to its trademarked “thankyou.”
In a joint court filing, the companies said they dismissed their claims against each other with prejudice, meaning they could not be brought again.
Last week, a federal judge refused Citi’s request for an order barring AT&T Inc. from using the common expression for its customer loyalty program. U.S. District Judge Katherine Forrest said she did not think Citigroup’s phrase warranted trademark protection.
