I've been advertising for DJ E since June 5th 2005. He was originally from the New Orleans area and was forced to relocate due to Hurricane Katrina.
Just a couple of months ago I built an additional web site for him and that's how the lawyer found out about me personally, because while I built the site for DJ E, I snapped up the domain I wanted to use and then once I did, I could not transfer registration to DJ E for 60 days... So that's the time frame. The site I'm being sued for: http://atlantaweddingentertainment.com does not have the trademark terms on it and domain is registered to DJ E - not me... His lawyer called me on 5/21 and by 5/23 I was served my summons. According to the laws he claims I broke, as an advertiser I did all I was supposed to do, which was remove infringing marks.
His claim however, is that he feels his client is the only DJ in Atlanta to be able to advertise that he provides wedding entertainment! He wanted me to simply give him the website I built for DJ E and give him copies of any correspondence, receipts, invoices, checks etc from DJ E... I was not about to simply give him a website because he wanted it, but I did send him the only invoice I had from DJ E which was in 2005... As for the recent site I did, I did it for charity sake to help him out.
