had to go through WIPO multiple times when I was with HoneyBaked Ham , there seemed to be no end of those that would take advantage of our trademark by variants of our URL directed to their own sites
Erik Goldoff IT Consultant Systems, Networks, & Security _____ From: John Aldrich [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, September 15, 2009 10:04 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: trademark infringement What's the best way to handle a website that infringes on your trademark? I discovered a URL that is very close to our registered trademark (actually, it *is* our trademark, plus an "s" to make it plural.) I've contacted the web host since the website is registered with a private registration and they have asked for proof of trademark (which I just sent) and are refusing to give up the account holder without a subpoena. Anything else I can do short of suing the web host? The registrar is in Indonesia, so short of filing a WIPO complaint, there's not a lot we can do. I thought it might be better to start with the web host.
