Re/Max International Inc., the second-biggest U.S. real-estate brokerage, was sued by Re/Fund Realty and Mortgage LLC in a trademark dispute stemming from similarities in corporate names.
Closely held Re/Max, based in Greenwood Village, challenged Re/Fund’s federal trademark application and demanded the company change its name, according to the complaint. Re/Fund is seeking a court declaration that it isn’t infringing on Re/Max’s trademark.
“Re/Max has a history of opposing marks of other entities without proper foundation or cause in order to interfere with legitimate business activities,” Re/Fund said in a complaint Nov. 6 in federal court in Galveston, Texas.
