Domain Trader Rating: (100% / 2) | Prime Case This is a prime case where the guy with less financial resource should be protected....his small investment should be protected against the paper backed magazine. Rob, why don't you suggest to Nominet that they should encourage IP lawyers and trade mark attorneys to tout for business on nominets website stating whether they will consider a no win no fee deal.....if Nominet dont except this then clearly they are biased towards their drs experts who unduly publicise their services It would be good if we had Mr Michael Silverleaf conduct the DRS on this case....as fascinating as Mr Willoughby... I see a bit of ego boosting stuff between Silverleaf and Willougby...who can act in the most honourable way and sort out the DRS... Indeed who is going to have the balls to state that transfer is unlawful when the complainant does not have unequivocal rights.. Lee Last edited by landlord; 29-03-2008 at 06:54 PM. |

Domain Trader Rating: (100% / 1) | I say we all gang together to come up with the defence and can have a whipround for funds. Could actually get a bit of pr for it. The press would love a story of domainers v nuts magazine! |

Domain Trader Rating: (100% / 2) | Thus can only rely on Mr Silverleaf One most rely on Mr Silverleaf to sort out the DRS.... thenuts may have taken the correct approach i.e. to withdraw its TM application....opposition can be very complicated and 48 pages long http://www.ipo.gov.uk./tm/t-decision...lts/o07808.pdf Lee |

 Happy to do my usual free appraisal Brendan - I have PMed you my email address if you want to do that. Incidentally, the costs in TM opposition hearings are generally fixed quite low and quite a bit less than what the winning party would pay to be represented - it is not the same as in court. Also, it is possible to amend an application to accommodate the basis for the objection, often still leaving you with a useful mark and no opposition hearing to take part in. All the best Jim | |

Domain Trader Rating: (100% / 1) | I have decided to defend this DRS myself. Is there anyone on this forum with advise on the points I should stress in my defense? |

Domain Trader Rating: (100% / 1) | If it was a £50 name represent yourself, but why take the gamble on this one. Personally I'd listen to Beasty and use him, he's all but guaranteed to successfully defend this one. However one wrong word from you with regards the DRS response and they'll use it against you. Seen too many crazy decisions from the panel to risk a decent name like yours. GW |

Domain Trader Rating: (100% / 3) | Agreed - makes no sense in going it alone on this one with this one. Depending on what stage you're at in the DRS, if you submit a solid defence by someone like Beasty they may not even pay for a decision. I would guarantee that some bod at nuts magazine wont have raised the DRS, it will be a lawyer / solicitor instructed to try and fleece your name off you. It's highly likely their lawyer is reading this thread thinking to themselves great, he's defending himself. If I was you I would be getting this thread locked. |
