Defending a trademark DRS

fabpack · 15-12-2011, 07:48:52 AM

Hi

Has any acorn member defended their own trademark by being a complainant in a DRS?

The situation would be similar to someone launching a site called hatsebay.co.uk when you owned the trademark of made up word ebay.

If you have and would be prepared to help/discuss that would be great.

Thanks

Are they selling goods, passing off or any other breach of noms terms ?

The example you give sounds more like you the person does not like what�s on the others site�That�s could be more a slander, libel etc situation whole different ball game. One of the more prominent ones that spring to mind if that�s the case is Solicitors from hell Mr Kordowski has been sued for libel etc on at least 17 occasions, and over �170,000 in outstanding judgments and orders have accrued against him� even when his uk site was taken down I believe 20 or so new ones were registered the same day.
