LegalZoom, LegalForce Settle ‘Trademarkia’ Trademark Dispute

LegalForce Inc. and LegalZoom.com Inc. settled a dispute concerning LegalForce’s “Trademarkia” trademark, according to a court order in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California.

LegalForce operates Trademarkia.com, which lets users search and monitor trademarks. LegalForce argued LegalZoom bought the domain LegalZoomTrademarkia.com and used it to divert traffic from LegalForce’s site.

The court rejected LegalZoom’s attempt to dismiss the case in April, finding the complaint plausibly alleged that LegalZoom’s actions created a likelihood of confusion.

The terms of the settlement are confidential, the order says.

Judge Maxime M. Chesney wrote the Oct. 4 order.
