Three ex-employees are being sued by a vehicle part manufacturer for allegedly cybersquatting<\/a>, it has been reported.<\/p>\n

According to the North Virginia Daily, Joel Schurtz and Ronnie Jackson of Winchester, and Michael Firetti, of Purcellville stand accused of breaching intellectual property owned by Kearneysville-based STaSIS.<\/p>\n

The firm says the men have violated the Anti-cybersquatting Consumer Protection Act by blocking access to the website and Facebook page of Eurojet Development – a firm bought out by STaSIS.<\/p>\n

In the $75,000 lawsuit, the defendants are also accused of taking prototype parts, files, and intellectual property, and trying to change a PayPal account.<\/p>\n

Schurtz, Jackson and Firetti have since filed a response to a motion for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction against them.<\/p>\n

It stated: “Any alleged interference with STaSIS’ access to or control over domain names<\/a>, website pages and associated data, e-mail addresses and files, or Facebook page associated with ‘Eurojet’ alleged is due solely to its own failure to re-register the domain names after acquiring rights to them.”<\/p>\n

The response claimed that STaSIS should have ended the defendants’ access to or control over such names and sites prior to the termination of their employment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
