When Villa Enterprises Management Ltd. was sued for its use of VILLA PIZZA(r), it sought coverage from Federal Insurance Company. Federal denied Villa a defense and indemnification, claiming its liability policy's "trademarked or service-marked title and slogan" coverage applies exclusively to infringement of the names of literary works.
