LegalZoom Settles Suit With LegalForce

Los Angeles-based legal filings and services site LegalZoom has settled a trademark and antitrust suit filed against the company by competitor LegalForce RAPC Worldwide, the operator of a trademark and patent filing service, Trademarkia.com, according to a legal filing from the two companies this week, according to reports. Financial details of the settlement were not announced. LegalForce had sued LegalZoom after it allegedly acquired the domain name LegalZoomTrademarkia.com, which was redirected to the company's main website. The original complaint by LegalZoom had claimed that attorneys "cannot effectively compete against non-law firm competitors like LegalZoom", and at one point LegalZoom had said that LegalForce was just "an aspiring competitor angrily lash out after failing to compete in the marketplace."
