Montreal passenger rights advocate loses legal round in court battle against United
MONTREAL — A Montreal passenger rights advocate has lost a legal round in a 20-year-old dispute with United Airlines.
Jeremy Cooperstock said the Federal Court of Canada has ruled that his website Untied.com infringed on the American airline’s trademarks and copyright.
He issued a brief statement Friday saying he strongly disagrees with the ruling and plans to appeal.
“I find it difficult to understand how someone could confuse my parody of Untied Airlines’ conduct against its passengers with the services of an airline,” he said in an email.
