...One's a domain name, and the other's an invitation.
Your insistence on using Coca-Cola as an example is bad,
because Coca-Cola is a "famous" mark.
I needed to use something folks here have heard about, so I chose Coca Cola. Yes, Coca Cola is more famous than e-gold is, but I don't think it's safe for e-gold to behave in any way differently from how I think Coca Cola would behave, and further, even though Coca Cola is more-famous, Alexa.com (if not stats.e-gold.com) would seem to indicate that e-gold has a bit of fame these days. Coke has a decades-long head start on fame, too. ...
E-Gold(R) is *not* famous, until they prove it is, and to simply assume all marks are famous is rather broadly expand the scope and intention of trademark law.
e-gold IS famous. There, conflicting assertions, but I cited both the stats page and Alexa, an outside reference. Who is right? I don't know, but assertions alone don't cut it if counter-assertions are such a piece of cake I can do them off the top of my head, with 0 research...
Of course, alternatively, my bet proposed above might take it from the academic to the experimental -- if someone dares to register Coca Cola's domain name.
If E-gold Ltd ever does pursue UDRP arbitration against one
of my domain names (which are very much like e-gold-casino)
I will gladly place a wager with you.
Different situation. My bet was about Coke (or pick a company that has lawyers on staff -- anyone except e-gold). The purpose of my wager is to DISSUADE, not encourage, infringement on e-gold's property such as yours or this casino's, hence your bet's a no-go with me as it presupposes wasting money paying lawyers on a frivolous case, something that's happened before but that I'd prefer NOT to see again unless the LOSER pays...
In fact, I will even make whether I win or lose a wagerable proposition on the site so
anyone can take me up.
Still no go if it's e-gold. Can't you just infringe on another?? JMR
