AdJuggler Obtains Default Judgment in Trademark Case Against Adjog.com
In 2008, AdJuggler, Inc., sued Adjog.com in the Western District for trademark infringement, cybersquatting, and other forms of unfair competition.
AdJuggler places online advertisements. It alleged that Adjog.com registered the Adjog.com domain name and began using ADJOG on a Web site in connection with “various services including ad serving and ad serving management and related solutions on the Internet.” AdJuggler alleged this use created a likelihood of confusion with its ADJUGGLER registered trademark.
Adjog.com did not answer AdJuggler’s complaint. As a consequence, on March 9, AdJuggler obtained a default judgment.
The judgment transfers the Adjog.com domain name to AdJuggler. Judge Robert Bryan also found the case was “exceptional” and awarded AdJuggler its attorney’s fees. The court directed AdJuggler to file a statement of fees within twenty days. The court did not award damages.
The case cite is AdJuggler, Inc. v. Adjog.com, No. 08-5627 (W.D. Wash. March 9, 2009).
