As part of this campaign, the complaint alleged that Mr. Hoggatt and the company now known as ExecHQ infringed the B2B CFO\u00ae trademark, posted false statements online, and attempted to pass off the services of B2B CFO as the services of the company now called ExecHQ. The complaint also alleged Mr. Hoggatt breached certain contractual and fiduciary duties he owed to B2B CFO.<\/p>\r\n<p>Based on these and other allegations, B2B CFO\u2019s complaint asserted claims against Mr. Hoggatt for trademark infringement in violation of section 32 of the federal Lanham Act, false advertising and unfair competition under section 43(a) of the federal Lanham Act, violation of the federal Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act, violation of the federal Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, common law unfair competition, breach of fiduciary duty, and breach of contract. (All but the last two claims were also asserted against the company now known as ExecHQ.) B2B CFO sought injunctive relief and damages against Mr. Hoggatt and the company now known as ExecHQ for the conduct alleged in the complaint.<\/p>\r\n<p>Mr. Hoggatt and his company did not admit liability for the claims asserted against them by B2B CFO, but they quickly offered and then agreed to settle the lawsuit on terms that B2B CFO believe are favorable to it. The terms of the parties\u2019 settlement, which are not confidential, included the payment of money from Mr. Hoggatt and his company to B2B CFO and (more importantly) significant non-monetary promises Mr. Hoggatt and his company agreed to perform to address the issues raised by B2B CFO in its complaint regarding Mr. Hoggatt and his company\u2019s allegedly wrongful conduct.<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p>B2B CFO\u00ae has maintained an historical account of the case of B2B CFO\u00ae against Kenneth (Ken) Kaufman and CFOwise.
