Peoples Federal Savings Bank v. People's United Bank

TORRUELLA, Circuit Judge.

Plaintiff-Appellant Peoples Federal Savings Bank (“Peoples Federal”) challenges an interlocutory order denying its motion to preliminarily enjoin defendant-appellee People’s United Bank (“People’s United”) from using the mark “PEOPLES” in the rebranding of several recently acquired banks in Eastern Massachusetts. After careful consideration, we conclude that Peoples Federal’s motion for a preliminary injunction was properly denied. Peoples Fed. Sav. Bank v. People’s United Bank, 750 F.Supp.2d 217 (D.Mass.2010). We therefore affirm the decision of the district court.
