Yes they did
In 2002, Weight Watchers sued competitor DiscreetDrugs.com, which had reportedly used Gator to cause its advertisements to appear when users requested the Weight Watchers web site. Also in 2002, Weight Watchers sued competitor DietWatch.com, which had also reportedly used Gator to cause its advertisements to cover the Weight Watchers site. A premanent injunction was issued by the US District Court, Southern District of New York, enjoining certain DietWatch activities and granting $25,000 of damages.
