(Pension & Investments) The Chicago financial services giant is tracking other Citadels down wherever they are, to halt imposters causing confusion in the marketplace.Citadel is suing firms and people in Estonia, Bulgaria and Austria for trademark infringement, making clear it won’t tolerate impostors, no matter how distant.
The company’s Citadel Enterprise Americas and KCG IP Holdings entities filed two lawsuits in federal court in Chicago, alleging that Citadel Tax Consulting and Citadel Capital, with their similar castle-like logos, violated U.S. and Illinois laws by infringing on its trademarks.
