<p>A popular singles site that promises &#8220;Love is complicated, Match.com is simple&#8221; is taking issue with a website that claims &#8220;Love is complicated, sex is simple.&#8221;</p>
<p>In a trademark suit filed in Virginia federal court, Match claims the adult matchmaker has no right to use the names &#8220;xxxmatch.com&#8221; or &#8220;eroticmatch.com.&#8221;</p>
<p>Texas-based Match claims it is the biggest site in the world for dating and relationships and that &#8220;consumers are likely to be confused or misled into believing&#8221; that the adult sites are related to Match.</p>
<p>The xxxmatch.com features a scantily clad woman who invites users choose from a variety of categories like &#8220;Man&#8221; or &#8220;lesbian couple.&#8221;</p>
<p>Match is asking for a court order forbidding the use of &#8220;xxxmatch&#8221; or the slogan &#8220;Love is complicated, sex is simple.&#8221; Match also wants the defendants, who are based in California and the Caribbean, to turn over their profits.</p>
<p>Match.com launched in 1995 and claims to have signed up 15 million members since then.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s  a copy of the complaint:</p>
<p><a title="View Match vs. XXXmatch on Scribd" href="http://www.scribd.com/doc/88131185/Match-vs-XXXmatch" style="margin: 12px auto 6px auto; font-family: Helvetica,Arial,Sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; -x-system-font: none; display: block; text-decoration: underline;">Match vs. XXXmatch</a><iframe src="http://www.scribd.com/embeds/88131185/content?start_page=1&#038;view_mode=list&#038;access_key=key-u3eit1nrsw6c6ybqp5o" data-auto-height="true" data-aspect-ratio="0.770491803278688" scrolling="no" id="doc_45374" width="100%" height="600" frameborder="0"></iframe><br />
