houtube trademark complaint

level200 · 09-11-2007, 07:19:40 PM

Hi All

I have the houtube.co.uk domain and have just received an email from sedo, stating that they have had a complaint about a possible trademark infringement.

I have searched sedo website and found hundreds of youtube related domains, yet mine is not even youtube its houtube. Why have they decided to pick on me and not the youtube domains?

Does anyone have any information about the youtube trademark? as houtube is used for numerous other non youtube related websites and not solely for youtube.

Cheers for your help
John

Firstly H sits right next to Y on the keyboard.

Also did your sedo ads have youtube/video related links

Hi Guys

I'm not sure what ads houtube had as it was only up for 2 days. Houtube is used for numerous webpages and is not trademarked.
