Marketron International Expands Enforcement of Intellectual Property Rights BURLINGAME, Calif., Aug. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- Marketron International, Inc. announced today that it has filed suit against OneDomain, Inc. employee Jayna Friberg. The suit, filed in Utah federal court, alleges that Ms. Friberg willfully committed copyright infringement by making unauthorized copies of Marketron's copyrighted software in the latter part of 2003. Marketron seeks unspecified damages, as well as an injunction prohibiting Friberg and "all persons or entities acting in concert with her from infringing, inducing infringement of, or contributorily infringing Tapscan's copyrights." Marketron CEO Mike Jackson commented on the new litigation, "Marketron takes its intellectual property rights very seriously, and we intend to vigorously protect this core component of our business." The claim asserted against Friberg in the Utah action is distinct from the lawsuit Marketron filed against OneDomain, Inc. and a group of OneDomain employees in Alabama state court in October 2003. In the Alabama action, which is still pending, Marketron alleges that OneDomain and the other defendants misappropriated Marketron's trade secrets, breached a variety of contracts with Marketron, and committed other wrongs. As originally filed, the Alabama action asserted twenty separate causes of action against OneDomain and the individual defendants. On July 27, 2004, Marketron amended its complaint in the Alabama action to add two additional claims. All twenty-two claims are now pending before the Court.
