"It is beyond interesting as a legal matter"

Jersey Boardwalk Pizza uses a mark in Florida. that is an almost exact replica of the green and yellow Garden State Parkway emblem, except the words "Garden State Parkway" are replaced with "Jersey Boardwalk Pizza."

A federal case in New Jersey was dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.

"It's an interesting lawsuit just because (the turnpike authority) in the state of New Jersey is suing these guys down in Florida," said Justin Klein, of the Red Bank law firm Marks & Klein LLC, who represented Jersey Boardwalk Pizza, which has locations in Tavernier and Florida City, Florida. "It is beyond interesting as a legal matter."
