HARRISBURG, Pa. - CODi, Inc. has filed a
lawsuit against Fairhaven Group, Inc. d/b/a Brenthaven and Scott
Armstrong (a Brenthaven executive and part-owner). The complaint, which
was filed in the United States District Court, Middle District of
Pennsylvania, alleges that Brenthaven and Armstrong registered a domain
name, codibag.com, which is confusingly similar to CODi's federally
registered trademark, CODi(R). The complaint further alleges that
Brenthaven then used the codibag.com domain name to divert customers to
a website that offered solely Brenthaven products. CODi's complaint
seeks to permanently enjoin Brenthaven and Armstrong's acts of
cybersquatting, trademark infringement and dilution. Additionally, the
lawsuit seeks up to $100,000 in statutory damages, as well as treble
damages and attorneys' fees.
"CODi has achieved success because customers recognize our unwavering
commitment to superior quality products and services," said Tim
Hoagland, CEO of CODi. "When a competitor brazenly uses our well-known
CODi brand as part of an illegal scheme to misdirect customers, we will

consumer confusion and to protect our right to compete fairly." ABOUT CODi
