This is not only the name of our company, it is our trademark and you cant be using our trademark, Geoffrey Vitt, an attorney for Love Your Brain, said Thursday. Vitt also is a board member for the Vermont foundation.The Love Your Brain complaint, filed in August, said the Epilepsy Foundation has used the trademarked phrase in a number of website postings and on physical signs and a bus. The suit said the Los Angeles group also has been using the loveyourbrain.org website, which was previously registered to the Vermont organization but was inadvertently allowed to expire. The Vermont group now uses the domain name loveyourbrain.com.The Los Angeles-based organization did not immediately respond Thursday to a request for comment.Pearce was among the top U.S. snowboarders before he critically injured himself when he struck his head during half-pipe training in 2009 for the Olympics. He went through extensive rehab, and had to relearn how to walk, talk and swallow.Pearce founded the Vermont organization in 2013, the same year it began using the phrase Love Your Brain. The term was trademarked the following year. It has full-time staff in five states and has conducted programs in 40 states.The Vermont groups logo features Love Your Brain Foundation in a purple circle; the O in love is in the shape of a brain. The organization also markets and sells its own brand of products, some of which include the phrase.Pearce started the Love Your Brain Foundation with his brother.
