TRAVEL WEB SITE OBJECTS TO JUDGE'S REPORT IN TRADEMARK CASE AGAINST COMPETITORS

摘要

A travel Web site has told a Manhattan federal court that it can continue suing allegedly disreputable competitors for infringement, unfair business practices and false advertising when they purportedly mimicked its Web site and used its trademarks to manipulate Internet search results. See LBF Travel Inc. v. Fareportal Inc. et al., No. l:13-cv-09143, objection to report and recommendation filed (S.D.N.Y. Nov. 18, 2014). LBF Travel Inc. objected to a magistrate judge's recommendation that the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York dismiss two state law deceptive-practices claims in its federal trademark suit against competitors Fareportal Inc. and WK Travel Inc.
