In my previous post, I already posted a link to the site with cases relating to this issue. If you register a name that is trademarked, or is a well-known brand, the company will be able to get it from you. For example, just 2 years ago, some idiot registered worldwrestlingfederation.com (I know, it's now known as WWE ) - and tried to sell it to WWF (as it was known back then) - WWF was able to sue them and get the domain name for free. Other examples: Porsche.org was taken back by the Porsche company. Another example, this time it's Australian - telstra.org was taken back by telstra.com. Microsoft has been able to take back any domain that has it's name in it, or is mispelled - the most notable example being micorsoft.com. Also, yahoo was able to take yahu.com and yahooo etc. One interesting thing - Sting.com was NOT able to be taken back by the singer Sting - basically because the owner's online nickname was Sting as well - this was quite a few years ago. Do some research, then post again. |

oh and Cyber Squattin as you calle dit Erwin happens ALL OVER the web.
Infact, a website name purchased by a friend of mine is the name of 1 of the most popular online games in its day...and still kicking. It is a first come first serve with online activity. If a owner does not renew their contract with the companies registering the names, its fair game... works like this kinda... http://www.networksolutions.com/cgi-...&SearchType=do according to that: Expires on..............: Nov 23 2003 7:02AM that is when aol.com expires... if it is forgotten or whatever, I can register it myself for 12.95 And sell it back to AOL for millions. You can look on eBay? for sites also auctioned off there. |

Okay, I'm not an IP law expert - I work in the medicolegal arena - but I've done quite a bit of reading on this. Anyway, I encourage you to do your own research. |

"R" sign means it is a REGISTERED TRADEMARK.
"TM" sign means it is a TRADEMARK PENDING REGISTRATION. |

So is it illegal to use a TM even though it's not officialy registered yet?
