FreeI.net Sdn.Bhd. v. FreeI Networks, Inc., No. C00-1101Z (W.D. Wash. Sept. 22, 2000).
Factual Background[]
Plaintiff licensee asserted that defendant licensor breached their license agreement by failing to perform certain obligations. Defendant asserted several counterclaims, including a claim for conversion based on plaintiff's registration of trademarks and domain names in the licensed territory and failing to transfer them to defendant.
Trial Court Proceedings[]
Noting that conversion applies only to chattels, the district court dismissed defendant's counterclaim for conversion, finding that "a trademark is not a chattel under Washington law."
