Salem Harbor Power Development LP (f/k/a Footprint Power Salem Harbor Development LP)

Case No. 22-10239


Case Background

On March 23, 2022, Salem Harbor Power Development LP (f/k/a Footprint Power Salem Harbor Development LP) and 5 affiliated debtors (collectively, the "Debtors") each filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. The cases are pending before the Honorable Mary F. Walrath, and are jointly administered under Case No. 22-10239.

The Debtors have used the words “Footprint Power” and its associated logo in their names pursuant to a license (the “License”) granted by the trademark owner Footprint Power Holdings, LLC (the “Trademark Licensor”).  The License was terminated in accordance with the governing License agreement shortly before the commencement of these chapter 11 cases.  Accordingly, to avoid and/or mitigate any alleged claims the Trademark Licensor may assert against the estates, the Debtors will no longer be utilizing the “Footprint” logo and, as part of their “first day” motions, are seeking authorization to change the respective Debtors’ names that will be utilized in connection with these chapter 11 cases.
