ROUSE HENDRICKS GERMAN MAY
KANSAS CITY, MO.
Rouse Hendricks German May, a Kansas City law firm dedicated to litigation,
has a formidable track record—and the awards to prove it. Because many of
the cases the firm handles are for high-profile, confidential clients, most never
see the light of day. However, one major matter did make it into the public eye:
a case concerning the misappropriation of trademark secrets. The greeting
card company Hallmark filed suit against Monitor Clipper Partners, the related
company of a consulting firm Hallmark had hired. In November 2012, after a
10-day trial, the jury voted in favor of Hallmark, awarding the company $21.3
million in actual damages plus $10 million in punitive damages. The defendants
appealed but were denied by the 8th Circuit, who affirmed the court’s decision in
favor of Hallmark in July 2014. Rouse Hendricks German May attorneys Charles
German and Daniel Blegen represented Hallmark.
