On November 2, 2010, Compound Stock Earnings Seminar, Inc. (“Compound”) filed a lawsuit against Mark Dannenberg, one of Compound’s former consultants, in the Northern District of Texas (pdf copy of the complaint available here). According to Compound, on October 28, 2010, Dannenberg asserted “that the strategies and material” in certain of Compound’s securities trading manuals were Dannenberg’s intellectual property and demanded a $240,000 payment. Compound then filed suit against Dannenberg, asserting that Dannenberg infringed Compound’s copyright in the works. Compound seeks, among other things, an injunction, compensatory damages, punitive damages, and attorney’s fees.
Compound is represented by Darrell Cook, Catherine Keith, and Kelly Bryan, all of Darrell W. Cook & Associates.
The case is pending before Chief Judge Fitzwater.
