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. About Marketron
