The Ilegal Mezcal case was a trademark opposition. The case status:
https://ttabvue.uspto.gov/ttabvue/v?pno=91266421&pty=OPP

says it is "terminated," with "BD DECISION: OPP DISMISSED W/O PREJ", meaning that the Trademark Board dismissed the opposition -- acknowledging the withdrawal of opposition -- 'without prejudice,' which means that it could be brought up again.

However, if the settlement negotiations resulted in a favorable agreement between the two, then likely it will not be re-litigated.

Whether there are other lawsuits related to WCVC/Nixon Restaurant Group/Illegal Brands is (mostly *) unknown.

* mostly - there is a landlord case for the Laurderhill FL Illegal Pizza property dragging out in Broward County court, but based on the publicly available free info, it's hard to tell what the open issues are.

I have not been able to find more open cases, but without access to Westlaw, LexisNexis, or other for-pay legal search engines, it's only by luck that Google searches turn up anything, since evidence of any case has to be findable by Google search (duh), meaning someone put the information out there so that a public search engine can spot it.

I've found out about a case or two in the past using Google search that told me about the existence of them, but those cases were publicized by a service that takes pay-access to get the real details. (One of those cases had enough public information to show that the case was dismissed with prejudice, meaning either Nixon won or the court threw it out on a technicality and ruled it could never be refiled.)
