Facts
S & N Jewelry Inc. and other retailers (defendants) sold watches in the Chinatown shopping district of New York City. The watches sold by defendants had the mark OMEGA on the face. The OMEGA mark on these watches was indistinguishable in size, placement, and appearance from the OMEGA mark on watches manufactured by OMEGA, S.A. (Omega) (plaintiff). Omega has a certificate of registration for the trademark OMEGA. Omega sued the defendants for trademark infringement in violation of § 32 of the Lanham Act. Omega moved for a preliminary injunction to prevent the defendants from selling watches bearing a counterfeit OMEGA mark.
