Engineer A is hired by PXL Engineering to serve as an associate engineer in State Y. Engineer B, a partner in PXL Engineering mentors Engineer A, and Engineer A eventually establishes himself within the firm as a generally well-regarded practitioner. PXL Engineering pays for Engineer A’s tuition to obtain a graduate degree, and Engineer B submits recommendations for Engineer A to become licensed as a professional engineer. A few years later, Engineer A decides to establish his own engineering practice in State Z and decides to call the firm “PXL Engineering of State Z.” Engineer A’s firm has no affiliation with PXL Engineering located in State Y, but upon investigation, Engineer B observes that the website developed by PXL Engineering of State Z has strikingly similar “Statements of Firm Principles” to the ones included on PXL Engineering’s website. Engineer B contacts Engineer A regarding the name of his firm as well as his use of PXL Engineering’s “Statement of Firm Principles” on PXL Engineering of State Z’s website.1.
