Yelp can proceed with a lawsuit against reputation management company ReviewVio for fraudulently claiming to suppress negative reviews, as ruled by U.S. District Judge William Alsup in San Francisco. Yelp accused ReviewVio of misleading businesses with ads featuring the Yelp logo, harming Yelp's reputation and causing loss of ad revenue. The court accepted Yelp's claims of potential confusion and harm to businesses but rejected claims of consumer harm. ReviewVio denies the allegations and plans to challenge Yelp's lawsuit.
