SACRAMENTO – A Sacramento resident alleges a Pennsylvania corporation is unlawfully using its OMG I So Need a Glass of Wine or I'm Gonna Sell My Kids trademark.

Christine N. Trice filed a complaint on March 17 in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California against Primitives by Kathy Inc. and Does 1 to 10 alleging trademark infringement, unfair competition and other counts.

According to the complaint, the plaintiff alleges that she has been using the OMG mark since 2008 and has used it for drinking glasses and social event services.
