HARRISBURG, Pa. --(Business Wire)-- June 1, 2006 -- CODi, Inc. has filed a lawsuit against Fairhaven Group, Inc. d/b/a Brenthaven and Scott Armstrong (a Brenthaven executive and part-owner). The complaint, which was filed in the United States District Court, Middle District of Pennsylvania, alleges that Brenthaven and Armstrong registered a domain name, codibag.com, which is confusingly similar to CODi's federally registered trademark, CODi(R).

CODi's complaint seeks to permanently enjoin Brenthaven and Armstrong's acts of cybersquatting, trademark infringement and dilution. Additionally, the lawsuit seeks up to $100,000 in statutory damages, as well as treble damages and attorneys' fees.
