A district court judge in Colorado denied a motion for a preliminary injunction in a trademark lawsuit against Bank of America Corp.'s virtual assistant Erica.
Erik Underwood, a Colorado resident and founder of My24HourNews.Com Inc., filed a complaint with the U.S. District Court in Colorado on Sept. 11, requesting a preliminary injunction to stop BofA's usage of Erica. Underwood developed his own virtual assistant, known as E.R.I.C.A., and trademarked it in Georgia in October 2010.
