DC Comics Sues Florida Barbershop Over ‘Superman’ Marks
Time Warner Inc. (TWX)’s DC Comics unit sued the operator of two central Florida barbershops for trademark infringement.

The comic book company objects to the “Supermen Fades to Fros” and “Superman Pro Barbershop” names used by the barbershops, and the use of its Superman-related trademarks on the barbershop chain’s outdoor sings and website.

The public is likely to falsely assume that an affiliation exists between the barbershops and the comic book company, DC Comics says. Despite receiving multiple requests from DC Comics to cease and desist in its alleged infringement, the barbershop chain continues to use “infringing promotions in the marketing, advertising and solicitation of the infringing barbershops,” the comic book company said in its complaint.
It asked the court to bar further infringement, for the surrender and destruction of all infringing promotional materials and to be awarded the shops’ supermenfadestofros.com Internet domain name.
DC Comics also asked to be awarded three times the shops’ profits attributable to the alleged infringement, attorney fees and ligation costs.
The barbershop chain didn’t respond immediately to an e- mailed request for comment.
The case is DC Comics v. Jones, 6:12-cv-01456-JA-GJK, U.S. District Court, Middle District of Florida (Orlando).
