Dismisses Case Against Cricket.com Owners — Cricket Communications

Cricket.com to remain with current owners.

CricketWireless.comWireless firm Cricket Communications has dismissed with prejudice a lawsuit it brought against the owners of Cricket.com.

Cricket Communications sued Global Cricket Ventures alleging that the site regarding the cricket sport was merely a coverup to show ads related to wireless phones. The mobile phone firm stated that Global Cricket Ventures had hardcoded a Cricket Wireless logo onto its site to look like it was merely part of a third party banner.

Cricket.com changed following the lawsuit was filed. All ads related to mobile phones were removed.

Cricket Communications filed a court document in July saying that it was in settlement negotiations with Global Cricket Ventures.
