United Medical Devices is the exclusive worldwide licensee for the Playboy trademark on condoms. A disgruntled ex-distributor, Playsafe, LLC, sued United Medical for breach of contract and fraud and sought $10.5 million in damages. United Medical retained Ellis George to defend it and to bring a counterclaim against Playsafe. Following a two-week trial, a Santa Monica jury found 12 to 0 against Playsafe on all its claims and awarded United Medical the full $700,000 sought on its claim. United Medical will also seek its attorney’s fees, which should push the judgment to over $1 million. United Medical was represented at trial by Ellis George partner Peter W. Ross.
