PLAINTIFF PRO TRAK INTERNATIONAL, INC. PRETRIAL STATEMENT 

1. Brief Statement of the Case Assented to by All Parties

In this litigation, Plaintiff ProTrak International, Inc (“ProTrak”) alleges that 

Defendant ProTracker Software, Inc. (“ProTracker”) has infringed ProTrak’s registered 

trademark PROTRAK in violation of the Lanham Act 15 U.S.C. § 1051 et seq, that 

ProTracker has infringed ProTrak’s common law rights in PROTRAK, PROTRAK 

ADVANTAGE and PROTRAK INTERNATIONAL, that ProTracker has committed acts 

of unfair competition under the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1125(a), under the common law 

and New Hampshire RSA-358-A, by using PROTRACKER, PROTRACKER.COM 

and/or PROTRACKER ADVANTAGE. ProTrak alleges that ProTracker has acted 

willfully. ProTrak also alleges that it will be damaged by Registration No. 3,038,202 on 

PROTRACKER ADVANTAGE for “computer software and user manuals sold as a unit 

for use in practice management for attorneys, accountants and financial planners.” 

ProTrak seeks, among other things, an injunction, damages and attorneys fees and the 

cancellation of Registration No. 3,038,202. 

ProTracker denies the key allegations of all of ProTrak’s counts and alleges that it 

has not infringed Plaintiffs’ trademark. ProTracker asserts the affirmative defenses of 

Case 1:05-cv-00342-JM Document 41 Filed 05/21/07 Page 1 of 13
2 

consent, acquiescence, laches, and unclean hands against ProTrak trademark 

infringement and related allegations. ProTracker further asserts the affirmative defenses 

that ProTrak trademark registration 1,835,278 for the mark PROTRAK is invalid. 

ProTracker also asserts the affirmative defense that the Trademark Office examined its 

trademark application for the mark PROTRACKER ADVANTAGE and found no 

likelihood of confusion between that mark and Plaintiff’s asserted PROTRAK mark. 

ProTracker has also filed counterclaims alleging that it has a right to use the 

names, marks and domain name “ProTracker,” “ProTracker Software,” “ProTracker 

Advantage” and “protracker.com” and seeks to cancel Registration No. 1,835,278 for the 

mark PROTRAK for “database management system; namely, computer software used to 

manage directories.” ProTrak has denied the key allegations in ProTracker’s 

counterclaims and has asserted numerous affirmative defenses including unclean hands.
