   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  18-2658
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Kelly, Author, with Smith, Chief Judge, and Kobes, Circuit 
   Judge] 
   Civil case - Trademarks. The parties' agreement giving Progressive a 
   time-limited use of the Lawn Managers' mark was not a naked license 
   agreement, and Lawn Managers did not abandon its mark by granting the 
   license in the unique circumstances presented; in these circumstances, 
   Lawn Managers could reasonably rely on Progressive to meet the same 
   standards of service that Lawn Managers provided its customers; the 
   district court did not err in rejecting Progressive's unclean hands 
   defense, as Lawn Managers was permitted under the parties' licensing 
   agreement and other related agreements to send a "We Want You Back" mailer 
   to former customers awarded to Progressive under the licensing agreement; 
   the district court did not clearly err in its damages award. Judge Kobes, 
   dissenting.
