Localist and Yellow Pages Group Reach Settlement

24 February 2011

Localist and Yellow Pages Group Reach Settlement

Localist – Auckland’s new local information and directory service – and Yellow Pages Group have settled a dispute over possession and use of certain website domain names.

The matter has been resolved on commercial terms. Yellow Pages Group has agreed to transfer ownership of the contested domain names – which included variations on the word “localist” - to Localist.

Localist has in turn agreed to end the legal action it initiated against Yellow Pages Group earlier this week.

As part of the agreement, no further public comment can be made by either party about the terms of the settlement.
