Westec Files Trademark Infringement Suit

Westec Security Inc. said Monday that it has filed a trademark infringement suit against Western Resources Inc. of Topeka, Kan., and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Westar Security Services and WestSec Inc. of Irving, Texas. The suit, filed in Municipal Court in Santa Monica, seeks an injunction to stop the use of the Westar and WestSec trademarks. The suit also alleges that use of those trademarks dilutes the value of the well-known Westec trademark.
