Subject: Request for Co-Sponsors: Motion to Reserve Funds for Potential Enforcement, LNC v. Saliba

Colleagues,

I am seeking co-sponsors for the following motion:

MOTION:

I move to allocate $20,000 from the Legal - General budget line, to be reserved for potential legal action in defense of the ruling in LNC v. Saliba. The reserved funds shall be released for expenditure if determined necessary following presentation by Andrew Chadderdon to the Litigation Committee and to counsel retained for the New Mexico trademark litigation (Fresh IP PLC) regarding recent events in Michigan (tentatively planned for 4/23/2026).

The LNC holds a stipulated judgment in LNC v. Saliba permanently enjoining the named defendants from using the party's registered marks. That judgment is one of the two favorable prior rulings that strengthen the LNC's trademark position in the pending New Mexico matter. Recent conduct in Michigan raises the possibility that parallel enforcement action may become necessary to defend the ruling on which the New Mexico case will partly rely as precedent.

This motion does not authorize any filing. Any enforcement action would still require separate authorization under PM §1.06(2). It reserves funds so that, if the Litigation Committee and retained counsel determine that enforcement is warranted — whether in parallel with the New Mexico matter or otherwise — the LNC is positioned to act without delay.

A judgment is only as valuable as the willingness to enforce it, and the value of the Saliba ruling to the New Mexico case depends on it remaining undisturbed. This modest reserve protects both.

If you are willing to co-sponsor, please reply to this thread.

Mr. Chadderdon,

So, I can start the email ballot is the motion just "move to allocate $20,000 from the Legal - General budget line, to be reserved for potential legal action in defense of the ruling in LNC v. Saliba. The reserved funds shall be released for expenditure if determined necessary following presentation by Andrew Chadderdon to the Litigation Committee and to counsel retained for the New Mexico trademark litigation (Fresh IP PLC) regarding recent events in Michigan (tentatively planned for 4/23/2026)." or is it the full text of the email minus your email signature?

In Liberty,

Evan

Mr. Secretary, 

Yes, it was my intent to have just the first paragraph be the motion text itself, which I believe is what you presented, while the rest was intended as explanation/support. 

Thank you for checking and apologies for lack of clarity.

Colleagues,

I am adding my vote discussion here, instead of the ballot thread.

As a member of the Litigation Committee, I am holding my vote until Mr. Chadderdon has made his presentation to the Litigation Committee.

The method being exploited to defraud the membership is via our trademark and identity as an organization; the law as structured treats this as an IP matter. Until change is forced it’s only a matter of semantics that we must endure and employ as defense.
