CODi Sues Brenthaven for Cybersquatting and Trademark Infringement

HARRISBURG, Pa. --(Business Wire)-- June 1, 2006 -- CODi, Inc. has filed a lawsuit against Fairhaven Group, Inc. d/b/a Brenthaven and Scott Armstrong (a Brenthaven executive and part-owner). The complaint, which was filed in the United States District Court, Middle District of Pennsylvania, alleges that Brenthaven and Armstrong registered a domain name, codibag.com, which is confusingly similar to CODi's federally registered trademark, CODi(R). The complaint further alleges that Brenthaven then used the codibag.com domain name to divert customers to a website that offered solely Brenthaven products. CODi's complaint seeks to permanently enjoin Brenthaven and Armstrong's acts of cybersquatting, trademark infringement and dilution. Additionally, the lawsuit seeks up to $100,000 in statutory damages, as well as treble damages and attorneys' fees.



"CODi has achieved success because customers recognize our unwavering commitment to superior quality products and services," said Tim Hoagland, CEO of CODi. "When a competitor brazenly uses our well-known CODi brand as part of an illegal scheme to misdirect customers, we will not hesitate to pursue all available legal remedies to both prevent consumer confusion and to protect our right to compete fairly."
