Federal question n. one basis for filing a lawsuit in federal district court is that it is based on subjects enumerated in the U. S. Constitution or when a federal statute is involved. Thus, existence of such federal question gives the federal court jurisdiction.
We and PlayBev intend to continue our suit against Playboy in Cook County, Illinois, alleging that Playboy breached, and that all defendants conspired to breach and aided and abetted Playboy’s breach, of the previous product license agreement and interfered with our established distributorship network. We seek compensatory and punitive damages, an injunction against termination of the previous product license and continuing interference, and other equitable and ancillary relief. Play Beverages, LLC, and CirTran Beverage Corp. v. Playboy Enterprises, Inc., et al., Case No. 2012L012181. Playboy and the other defendants have not responded to the lawsuit.
