United Airlines wins suit against founder of Untied.com complaint site

United Airlines has won a lawsuit against a Canadian professor who for the past 20 years has catalogued complaints against the airline on Untied.com. A judge in Canada's Federal Court in Ottawa, Ontario, Friday found the website violates the airline's trademarks and copyright and granted United an injunction preventing Jeremy Cooperstock, who runs the website, from using the airline's intellectual property. "We are pleased with the court's decision. We have always maintained that Mr. Cooperstock should be able to voice his opinions, and our case was to protect United customers and avoid confusion by asking him to not use our intellectual property on his website and related channels," United said. Cooperstock accused the airline of using the case to try to shut down a source of criticism and vowed to appeal. <br/>
