LA judge bans sale of Mongols logo

LOS ANGELES (AP) --A federal judge in Los Angeles has barred the Mongols motorcycle gang from selling or distributing its trademarked logo after authorities arrested dozens of its members in six states.

U.S. District Court Judge Florence-Marie Cooper granted an injunction requested by prosecutors late Tuesday that prohibits gang members, their family members and associates from licensing, selling or distributing the logo.

The order, however, did not include language that would prohibit Mongols members from wearing or displaying the logo. Prosecutors are seeking to take control of the gang's trademarked name.

At least 61 members were arrested under a racketeering indictment that accuses some of murder, attempted murder and drug sales.
