American Marconi Wireless News - Jury Clears Terps USA of Trademark Infringement in $985,000 Lawsuit

DENVER, CO / ACCESS Newswire / March 17, 2026 / Terps USA, LLC, a leading manufacturer of botanical terpene sprays and application hardware, announced today that a Colorado District Court jury has fully cleared the company of trademark infringement and civil theft claims brought by a competitor. The verdict concludes an 18-month legal battle in which the plaintiffs sought approximately $985,000 in damages and the permanent dissolution of Terps USA as a business.

The jury deliberated for approximately 30 minutes following a multi-day trial before returning a verdict finding no liability and awarding zero damages to the plaintiffs on those claims.

The lawsuit (Case No. 2023CV32008 ), filed in October 2023 by Anton Neznamov and Liquidizer, LLC (makers of Wax Liquidizer), spanned six separate legal claims against Terps USA, LLC and its founder, Kenneth Fry. Over the course of 18 months, the plaintiffs extended the proceedings while seeking to hold Terps USA liable for trademark infringement and attempting to force the equitable dissolution of the company.

On April 3, 2025, the jury rejected the core claims. In the subsequent Entry of Judgment, District Court Judge Benjamin Todd Figa formally denied the plaintiffs' request to dissolve the company, writing:

"The preponderance of the evidence did not show that Defendant Kenneth Fry has - with respect to Terps USA LLC - committed misconduct... This business remains viable to operate and is financially profitable."

Following the sweeping judgment in favor of Terps USA, the plaintiffs filed an appeal - and subsequently dropped it, ending the matter entirely.

Represented by a National Civil Rights Attorney

Terps USA was represented throughout the proceedings by Milo Schwab, founder of Denver Civil Rights Attorneys and a nationally recognized civil rights attorney, alongside co-counsel Casey Peel. Both Schwab and Peel took the case pro bono - a decision that speaks directly to the merits of Terps USA's position and the character of the attorneys who stood behind it.

"We built Terps USA in 2019 on a foundation of quality, transparency, and innovation," said Kenneth Fry, founder of Terps USA. "What was brought against us was an 18-month attempt to destroy a legitimate, thriving business using the legal system as a weapon. We refused to back down. The jury saw through it in 30 minutes. The dropped appeal says everything. We are forever grateful to Milo Schwab and Casey Peel, who believed in us from day one and gave everything to this case. We are also grateful to the jury and to Judge Figa for a fair process. This is a complete vindication - and we are proud to say it publicly."
