On October 27, 2010, EnergyComNetwork LLC (“ECN”) sued Acacia Energy, LLC in the Northern District of Texas for trademark infringement (pdf copy of the complaint available here). ECN sells electric meter reading and data analysis services under its “PayGo” mark. According to ECN, “Defendant AE applied for and received an Assumed Name from the Texas Secretary of State for ‘PayGo Power’ on or about May 19, 2010” and registered the domain name www.paygopower.com on May 4, 2010.”
Based on such conduct, ECN claims that Acacia Energy has committed trademark infringement under the Lanham Act.
ECN is represented by Richard Schwartz and Thomas Harkins, Jr., both of Whitaker, Chalk, Swindle & Sawyer, LLP.
The case is pending before Judge Means.
