What's in a name? 1700 Real Estate agents sued in Los Angeles

Los Angeles, CA - Sepetember 1st, 2006

All Cities Realty, Inc., a California real estate brokerage and the owner of the federal trademark ALL CITIES REALTY, in 2005, filed a legal action against CF Real Estate Loans, Inc. who does business as Re/Max All Cities Realty with their headquarters in Manhattan Beach, CA. The legal action was filed in Federal court by the combined law offices of H. Joseph Nourmand Esq. and Jeffrey F. Sax Esq. for Federal Trademark Infringement and other issues.

On July 19, 2006 All Cities Realty, Inc. filed 1695 additional individual law suits against each and every real estate agent and broker who has been affiliated with Re/Max All Cities Realty [CF Real Estate Loans, Inc.] since their "adoption" of the ALL CITIES REALTY trademark back in August 2002.

Joseph Miner, the president of All Cities Realty, Inc. stated “All Cities Realty, Inc. is currently in the process of serving every affiliated agent and broker who has been associated with Re/Max All Cities Realty.”

"We requested that they cease and desist on multiple occasions but they have not complied. Now it has come to this. Why anyone would use someone else's trademark is astonishing to me. And why someone would not stop when asked is even more astonishing. It is so easy to check these days, I find this truly remarkable."

Mr. Miner also stated that: "Anyone who has been associated with Re/Max All Cities Realty or CF Real Estate Loans, Inc. may check our website at www.allcitiesrealty.com and download a copy of the State and Federal summons and complaints if they wish.

We have been using the mark and the domain name since 1996 and have protected ourselved every step of the way. It could not have been any clearer. Nevertheless we will defend the abuse of our mark with vigor. The agents and brokers have also been profiting from the use of our registered mark and it is time to put a stop to it." About 830+/- agents have been served so far said Mr. Miner.

We have made the All Cities Realty website at www.allcitiesrealty.com available for additional information or you may contact the law offices of Jeffrey F. Sax in Los Angeles at 213-217-5480.
