Re: [ga] Apply for a TM, and make $12000 on a domain you never owned!
this is common practice.
look at this:
"Furthermore, the Respondent states that, as further evidence of the
Complainant's attempt at reverse hijacking, the Complainant has applied for
various federal trademarks, a list of which appears in Exhibit 6 to the
Response (and taken from the publicly available and web-accessible Trademark
Electronic Search System -- TESS -- provided by the United States Patent and
Trademark Office - "PTO") and includes:
Serial No. Reg. No. Word Mark Live/Dead
78072101 SEX.INFO DEAD
78014925 SEX.WEB DEAD
78035833 SEX.PRO DEAD
78014928 SEX.BUY LIVE
78035843 SEX.INFO LIVE
76031958 SEX.SHOP LIVE
76031959 SEX.SHOPS DEAD
76092746 2461859 SEX.SHOP LIVE
Given this, the Respondent contends that "there is no doubt that Mr.
Kalaydjian filed all those trademark applications to reverse hijack the
corresponding domain names from the rightful owners"."
