The Land-O-Nod Company v. Bassett Furniture Industries, Incorporated, and the E.B. Malone Corporation
Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit

1Opinion of the Court
HANSON, Senior District Judge.
Bassett Furniture Industries, Inc. (Bas-sett) and the E.B. Malone Corporation (Malone) appeal from an order of the district court1 granting the Land-O-Nod Company (Land-O-Nod) a preliminary injunction. The injunction prohibits Bassett and Malone from using Land-O-Nod’s registered trademark “Chiropractic” in marketing their mattresses and box springs. We hold that it was not proper for the district court to grant the preliminary injunction because the court had no personal jurisdiction over the defendants.
