What was filed
The case is Picogrid, Inc. v. Yurts Technologies, Inc., No. 2:26-cv-12998 (C.D. Cal., Western Division), filed November 5, 2026, ECF No. 1 (11 pages). The caption names Picogrid, Inc., a Delaware corporation, as plaintiff, and Yurts Technologies, Inc. d/b/a Legion Intelligence, Inc., a Delaware corporation, as defendant. The complaint says Picogrid is based in El Segundo, California, and that Legion Intelligence is based in San Francisco, California. The docket through November 5, 2026, shows the complaint, a civil cover sheet, a summons request, an AO 120 trademark report, and Picogrid's corporate disclosure statement.
The mark
The complaint asserts U.S. Trademark Registration No. 8,363,208 for LEGION. USPTO TSDR records list that registration as live and owned by Picogrid, Inc., a Delaware corporation, registered July 28, 2026, in International Class 9 for "Downloadable middleware for software application integration; Downloadable computer software for application and database integration; Downloadable cloud-based software for software application, database, and hardware systems integration; none of the foregoing for use in connection with personal computers, laptops, computer displays, computer peripherals, gaming computers, or computer gaming accessories," with a first-use date of February 1, 2022, and first use in commerce of June 1, 2023. The complaint says Picogrid adopted and continuously used LEGION in interstate commerce for its vendor-neutral, API-first platform that connects and commands mission assets for defense, space, and public-safety customers, and that it has sold the platform to the U.S. Air Force and the U.S. Army and has partnered with third-party companies, among others, to integrate LEGION into their projects with military applications.
What the complaint alleges
The complaint alleges that in April 2025, more than three years after Picogrid began using LEGION, Yurts Technologies rebranded as Legion Intelligence and began using LEGION as the dominant source-identifying element of its company name and product names such as Legion Platform and Legion Packs. It alleges, on information and belief, that Legion Intelligence adopted the mark with knowledge of Picogrid's prior use or without a reasonable clearance search. It says both parties sell integration software into the same defense, intelligence, and national-security customer base, including the U.S. Air Force and the U.S. Army, and that Legion Intelligence's use has already caused actual marketplace confusion in which government customers and potential collaborators mistook Picogrid for Legion Intelligence or believed the companies or their LEGION products were related. It says Picogrid sent Legion Intelligence a letter objecting to its use of LEGION on July 6, 2026, and that despite several follow-up efforts Legion Intelligence has refused to stop using LEGION as a trademark for its products.
The counts are infringement of a federally registered trademark under 15 U.S.C. § 1114; federal unfair competition and false designation of origin under 15 U.S.C. § 1125(a); unfair competition under California Business and Professions Code § 17200 et seq.; California common law trademark infringement; and California common law unfair competition. The prayer asks for a permanent injunction against using LEGION or confusingly similar marks in the defense or security fields, against related registration filings, and against assisting others in those acts; an accounting of profits enhanced under 15 U.S.C. § 1117(a); damages under § 1117(a), with trebling for the Lanham Act claims; California common law damages; punitive damages under California Civil Code § 3294; interest; and costs and attorneys' fees under § 1117(a).
