Before: BRUNETTI, THOMPSON, and HAWKINS, Circuit Judges.


BRUNETTI, Circuit Judge:

The Self-Realization Fellowship Church (SRF) sued the Ananda Church of Self-Realization (CSR) for infringing its trademarks and trade names for terms like "Self-realization." The district court dissolved a preliminary injunction enjoining CSR from infringing on SRF's trade names and marks, and SRF appeals. We affirm the order dissolving the injunction with respect to some of the marks and reverse with respect to others.
