Plaintiff Urges Denial of McAfee Extension, Cites ‘Substantial’ Daily Harm

Pro se plaintiff James Linlor opposes McAfee’s March 3 motion for a two-week extension to March 29 to answer Linlor’s complaint alleging McAfee “cybersquatted” on the cyberguard.com internet domain for 15 years with no “bona fide” ties to Linlor’s trademarked term Cyberguard (see 2301310011), said his opposition Wednesday (docket 5:23-cv-00385]) in U.S. District Court for Northern California in San Diego. Linlor’s complaint contends he’s actively trying to grow his cybersecurity business, and is blocked from use of his undisputed trademark by McAfee’s “squatting” on the identically named internet domain. “No good cause exists for a delay in McAfee's time to respond” because “substantial harm” to Linlor “is occurring daily via fraudulent transfers and attempts to complicate this case,” said Linlor’s opposition.
