Playboy Enterprises, Inc. v. Welles 7 F.Supp.2d 1098 (S.D. Cal. 1998
The court finds that plaintiff has failed to demonstrate that a preliminary injunction is warranted since there is not a strong likelihood of success on the merits. Consequently, the Court cannot find that the balance of harm tips strongly enough in plaintiff`s favor to overcome the lack of meritoriousness the court has found.
In addition, it is unclear that irreparable harm would ensue from the continued operation of Ms. Welles` website since plaintiff has not demonstrated that there is a likelihood of confusion, As such, the court, hereby DENIES plaintiff`s Motion for a Preliminary Injunction.
