On September 30, 2010, TRS Quality, Inc. (owned by RadioShack) filed suit (pdf copy of the complaint here) against Yell Adworks, Inc. in the Northern District of Texas. RadioShack accuses Yell Adworks (a division of Yellow Book) of violating the Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act. RadioShack claims that, in early 2010, it discovered that Yell Adworks had registered numerous domain names containing “radioshack” in their names, and thereafter sent Yell Adworks three cease and desist letters, all to no avail. RadioShack seeks, among other things, statutory damages in the amount of $100,000 for each of the allegedly infringing domain names.
The case is before Judge Lindsay.
RadioShack is represented by David Harper, Jeffrey Becker, and Michelle Jacobs, all of Haynes and Boones, L.L.P.
