Crayola, a division of Hallmark Cards, Inc., recently filed a lawsuit against Alex Toys LLC, a New Jersey toy company, alleging unauthorized trademark use on crayons.  According to the complaint, crayons sold by Alex Toys LLC bore wrappers labeled with the word “Crayola.”  Alex Toys LLC sold crayons bearing the Crayola trademark as part of their Colossal Art Set and in a bucket of crayons available on their website.
