Description:
On September 15, 2009, natural gas distributor Oneok Inc. sued Twitter, Inc. in federal court in Oklahoma for direct and contributory trademark infringement. Oneok's claims were based on a third party's registration and use of the Twitter handle "Oneok" to send tweets about the company.
Oneok withdrew the lawsuit the following day, after the Twitter account was suspended.
