Lucent sues porn site Lucentsucks.com By Bloomberg News Special to CNET News.com January 5, 2000, 12:05 p.m. PT Quote Snapshot LU 72.38 -1.75 Enter symbol: · Symbol Lookup More from CNET Investor Quotes delayed 20+ minutes ALEXANDRIA, Va.--Lucent Technologies, the telephone equipment giant, filed suit to stop the use of the protected "Lucent" trademark in the name of an adult-oriented Web site. The suit filed in federal court in Alexandria, Va., claims the "Lucentsucks" Web site confuses customers into thinking the site is associated with the company. The site offers pornographic photographs and services and infringes on Lucent's trademarks, the suit claims. Suits over so-called Internet domain names are becoming more frequent as the number of companies touting their products via the Web has jumped in recent years. "Lucentsucks.com is likely to cause confusion with Lucent's 'Lucent' marks, because those accessing the pornographic Web site…will believe it is legitimately affiliated with Lucent," the suit claims. As a result, the company continues to be damaged by the site, the suit claims. Lucent is asking a judge to transfer the domain name to Lucent.

No thanks. I got suckered into that debate on the QCOM thread -- never again. TTFN, CTC PS, can you send me (by pm) your e-mail address? I would like to pose some specific questions to you if you wouldn't mind.
