Dr. Jerald Tennant has taken legal action against his stepson, Scott Tennant, asking a Texas federal court to issue an injunction to prevent the continued sale of “micro-current therapy medical devices” that allegedly infringe on his trademarks. The request follows the cancellation of Scott Tennant’s licensing agreement due to claims of underreported sales and unpaid royalties.

According to Dr. Tennant, his stepson has ignored multiple cease-and-desist orders and continues to market the devices under the disputed trademarks. The elder Tennant argues that without immediate court intervention, his brand’s reputation and associated goodwill are at significant risk.
Dr. Tennant, who initially registered the trademarks for the medical devices in 2005, entered into a 20-year licensing agreement with Marten Group Inc., Scott Tennant’s company, which operates as Senergy Medical Group. However, the relationship soured when Senergy allegedly stopped providing accurate sales reports and royalty payments.
