Craigslist is sued by First Call, a Texas real estate company, for trademark infringement. First Call said they began to place their ads on Craigslist last March then soon after that, their rival compani the AAA Apartment Locating had also began posting their ads on Craigslist but they use the keywords “first call” “call us first” and “call first”.
First Call said that AAA Company is using those keywords so they can confuse customers and so they sued AAA as well as Craigslist. They said that Craigslist should be held responsible as they did not stop AAA’s advertisements although they are well aware of trademark infringement.
The judge of the state had already banned AAA and Craigslist from using those keywords for advertising but the case is now in the hands of the Federal Court.
