Awful.

Yep, weak/dodgy claim and great response. 9 LTD were in for around 50 of the short .co.uk domains and were clearly speculating themselves.

Nice quote from their website:

I know, just thought would give heads up

I'm sure Angie could countersue them and leave them in a cardboard box

What a load of old nonsense

There's a sharp member here who BOUGHT an aged TM or two and was successful at this, but to try and register new TMs and companies just for this purpose was destined for failure at the get-go.

Good to see that the DRS procedure continues to work fairly. Kudos to Nominet.

agreed Dale
tell me the 'complainant' is not a member here
what an abuse of the nominet system, and a waste of peoples time
let alone trying to effectively halfinch peoples assets which they have paid top dollar for in an open auction!

@pred

I'm sure he is a member here Guy. He's a client of ours, but that doesn't stop me airing my views on this.
