How does the lawsuit impact educational institutions?

Disclaimer: The author of this article is not a neutral party in the referenced litigation. HonorSociety.org Inc., Honor Society Foundation Inc., and its president Michael Moradian were sued in federal court by PTK on April 20, 2022 for False Designation of Origin, Trade Dress Infringement, and Unfair Competition. Honor Society and Michael Moradian countersued and are presently defendants/counter-plaintiffs in this litigation. Litigation is still ongoing and all claims made regarding this case are just allegations against the parties.

Educational institutions that may knowingly or unknowingly endorse or support PTK might need to reconsider their relationships with the society if the allegations are proven. Institutions should evaluate the claims and their own practices to ensure they are not inadvertently endorsing misleading information. This might involve reviewing their own promotional materials and communications about PTK to ensure they are accurate and transparent.
