The TTABlog: Court Approves Sale of Leo Stoller Trademark Assets to the Society for the Prevention of Trademark Abuse, LLC:

In an Order dated August 8, 2007, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Illinois has approved the sale of Leo Stoller's trademark assets to the Society for the Prevention of Trademark Abuse, LLC ("SPTA"). In re Leo Stoller, Case No. 05-B-64075. The chapter 7 trustee is authorized to sell the assets for $7,500 to the SPTA, who "made the only offer for the Assets received within the time period ordered."

Among the assets involved are Stoller's alleged rights in the mark STEALTH. The USPTO recently cancelled 34 registrations for various STEALTH marks owned by Stoller's company, Central Mfg. Co., as reported here.

His financial woes made it difficult for him to defend himself against Google, who went after him in bankruptcy court, too.
