Corporate Catering, Inc. vs. Corporate Catering, Etc., LLC, et al M1997-00230-COA-R3-CV Authoring Judge: Judge William C. Koch, Jr. Trial Court Judge: Walter C. Kurtz This appeal involves a dispute over the use of a defunct catering business's trade name and menu. The owner of the catering business filed suit in the Circuit Court for Davidson County seeking damages for conversion, breach of common-law copyright, and infringement of its business trade name and the distinctive names of its menu items. The trial court granted the defendants' motions for directed verdict regarding the conversion and the common-law copyright claims. After the jury returned a $12,500 verdict on the infringement of the trade name claim, the trial court granted the defendants' motion for a judgment in accordance with their motion for a directed verdict. In the alternative, the trial court, acting as thirteenth juror, set the verdict aside and granted a new trial. On this appeal, the defunct catering business asserts that the trial court erred by dismissing its claims for conversion and breach of common-law copyright. It also asserts that the trial court erred by failing to enter a judgment on the jury's verdict on the trade name claim. We have determined that the trial court decisions are supported by the law, and therefore, we affirm.	Davidson	Court of Appeals	09/28/98

Vickie Lewis v. Otis Campbell & Robert Dinwiddie M2000-03092-COA-R3-CV Authoring Judge: Judge Holly M. Kirby Trial Court Judge: Charles D. Haston, Sr. This case involves allegations of medical malpractice and misrepresentation. In September 1998, the plaintiff patient began visiting the office of the defendant physician for medical treatment. In February or March 1999, the patient discovered that the person treating her was not the defendant physician. In June 1999, the patient discovered that the person treating her was a pharmacist. In April 2000, the plaintiff patient filed a lawsuit against the physician and the pharmacist, asserting medical malpractice and misrepresentation. The trial court granted summary judgment to the defendants based on the one-year statute of limitations. The plaintiff now appeals. We affirm, finding that plaintiff had sufficient knowledge in February or March 1999 to put her on notice of her cause of action, and, consequently, her April 2000 lawsuit was barred by the statute of limitations.
