Pop Mart Files Trademark Suit Against 7-Eleven in California

On October 9, 2026, POP MART Americas Inc. and affiliated parties filed a trademark action against 7-Eleven, Inc. and other defendants in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California.

The case, assigned to Judge Maame Ewusi-Mensah Frimpong, involves claims under trademark law. A text-only scheduling notice was entered the same day regarding the trial date originally set for December 7, 2026.

The notice informed parties that the assigned judge is unavailable for the December trial. Parties were given until October 23, 2026, to stipulate to a continuance beyond February 26, 2027, when the judge becomes available, or to consent to a magistrate judge. Absent such action, the court indicated it would reset the trial on its own motion.

The filing adds to ongoing docket activity involving 7-Eleven. No further details on the specific marks or allegations were immediately available from court records.

The matter remains in early procedural stages.
