twitterSinger sues Internet company over domain name
Tuesday, Feb. 22, 2000 | 11:07 a.m.
Mariah Carey filed a federal lawsuit against two Canadian companies and their two officers, alleging they violated the Anti-Cybersquatting Consumer Protection Act when they used her federally registered trademark to advertise their fan appreciation Internet website.
The Las Vegas suit said the defendants, Jeff Burgar and Justin Lumsden, who allegedly operate and manage General Webgroup and Internet North, an Alberta-based Internet service provider, allegedly registered the domain name MARIAHCAREY.COM on Nov. 26, 1996, and are allegedly using the name to draw web users to their fan appreciation website at www.celebrity1000.com.
Eric Grimm, the defendants' attorney, said ownership of a trademark registration doesn't automatically give Carey a monopoly on the domain name.
