Kenyon won a motion to dismiss on behalf of the distributors of STOLICHNAYA brand vodka, in a long-running trademark infringement dispute filed in the Southern District of New York. Judge George B. Daniels ruled that a Russian organization, Federal Treasure Enterprise Sojuzplodoimport (FTE), lacked standing to challenge the distributors’ use of the marks in the US. Kenyon successfully represented Allied Domecq in 2006 when Judge Daniels first dismissed the suit, but the Second Circuit revived some of FTE's claims. Kenyon also began representing William Grant & Sons, the current distributor for STOLI, after it was added as a defendant in a third amended complaint filed in February 2011. The judge ruled that FTE did not have the right to sue over the trademarks because it was not a legal representative for the marks' owner the Russian Federation. In 2006, the Court had also dismissed a copyright infringement allegation contained in the lawsuit. Case number 1:04-cv-8510 (2011).
