I'm being pursued by a large casino and hotel chain for TM. I've received what I think is a legal claim and lawsuit for a TM Infringement. Though, I have several doubts about the claim, but there continues to be other domains hosted at PPC's & owned by others that are still in existance with the same TM issue that they claim I possess. These domains have been live since 2003. The names I possessed were a year old and about to expire (may 2006) and auto renewed, which I didn't want to happen and that's when I was informed of the claim being sought after me. A couple of days later. I didn't know about any trademark infringment. Honestly, it was one of the first domains I ever registered. I think someone is trying to make an example out of me. It literally makes me sick to my stomach that this is happening. Is it ok if I post this information on the web without consequence. I have the information on one of my sites in a folder, but there isn't a direct link from any website to the information. There isn't a gag order. I don't have an attorney. And I don't have any money. Can anyone give free legal advice? (Besides constructive feedback.) Link by PM Only. Thanks, Sean.
check out the links in my sig. I have some good stuff on trademark law. You should be fine as long as you dont try and extort them. The easiest way is to just give up the domain and transfer ownership.
Thanks, I'll check them out. I sent you a pm with more info so you can see what I'm up against. ~Sean.
First, contact the owners of the other sites to see if they have received letters. If not, it is likely they are looking to get hold of your domain name. Why not off to sell it to them if you don't want the drama of legal procedings, however flimsy the case against you may be.
