The bench trial began Monday.
Red Sonja LLC has the rights to Red Sonja with a "j," who appeared in a comic book and a 1985 movie. Paradox Entertainment owns the right to Red Sonya with a "y." That Sonya appeared in a 1930s story.
Red Sonja LLC claims Paradox tried to dilute and infringe its trademark with a press release about Red Sonya with a "y," jeopardizing plans for a new movie about Red Sonja with a "j."
Paradox's attorneys say the confusion was an unintentional mistake that was corrected once Paradox saw the lawsuit.
The plaintiffs are seeking $5 million.
