Fast relief for Yahoo!

When Yahoo!’s famous YAHOO! trademark was misused on the Internet, the company turned to Finnegan. We obtained a temporary restraining order for Yahoo!, enjoining the defendants from using the domain name 21yahoo.com for a website offering free stock in 21Yahoo.com, Inc. In a separate matter, we obtained an ex parte temporary restraining order for Yahoo! against typosquatters who registered the domain name yaholigans.com (a typo of the name of Yahoo!’s children’s site, YAHOOLIGANS!), among others, and used them for an adult-entertainment site.
