Recently in Chicagoland, the Platinum Bank of Brandon in Florida filed a U.S. District court lawsuit against the Platinum Community Bank for trademark infringement over the use of a service mark. A U.S. District court judge was scheduled to rule on the case when the Platinum Community Bank was forced to file for bankruptcy after its parent company, Taylor Bean & Whitaker Mortgage Corp. was indicted and raided by the FBI.
