IPNews® – The Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association hit Universal Health Services Inc. with new allegations of trademark infringement on Thursday, claiming the healthcare management company is breaching a previous settlement agreement by using a blue cross design in some of its logos.
BCBSA first sued UHS in December 2009 over the alleged infringement, after spending years sending it letters about the association’s trademark rights to blue crosses.
