These types of business disputes are very common and you have to be careful about everything you say when a dispute arises.

The Plaintiffs claim to be the lawful owners of a registered trademark relating to veterinary sports medicine and rehabilitation. Defendants are alleged to have made false statements to the public concerning the Plaintiffs and imputed an unfitness to do their job.
