Score Another Round for Cable: Injunction Granted Against DirecTV Dealer

ico_12.gif A California judge has granted Time Warner Cable a preliminary injunction against a DirecTV dealer's misleading telephone listings. As we reported last month [here and here], Time Warner had filed a lawsuit alleging false advertising by DirecTV reseller LA Activations, which had registered its toll-free number in Southern California under names very similar to Time Warner Cable. When consumers dialed directory assistance and asked for the cable company, they could have been directed unwittingly to the DirecTV dealer. Time Warner had received a temporary restraining order, and late last week the company was granted the temporary injunction. It bars LA Activations from using the numbers in question and the fake names, including "Time Warne" and "Time Warned," pending a trial.
