Today the company Shopify started a dispute with me regarding the name shopify.ai .
I have many excellent arguments, which I will describe later.

shopify. ai has Creation Date: 2017-12-15
Although the date in official whois is wrong, I registered this domain name after 2005, you are right about that.Copypasted from whois :
Creation Date: 2017-12-15T22:59:36.230Z
OK, if the official whois in wrong - just one question. Did you register .ai before 2005-03-11 (.com registration date), and, if so, would you be able to show relevant proofs (invoices, emails) to the panel?
You likely also need to contact the complainant (their lawyer, who signed the paperwork), as they need to act to receive a domain, and I think there are some forms that should to be submitted by both parties for udrp to be terminated. But, do not discuss who is right or wrong, do not disclose your feelings ("I'm right, but.."), do not tell them about district courts or your desire not to let them make money. Someting short and polite...I officially applied to Anguilla for a voluntary transfer of the name to Shopify
Do not forget that in most cases such large companies are unaware that they started udrp. It is all done by lawyers. The lawyer found your domain. The lawyer sent a bill to their client shopify. Shopify paid. It is likely that nobody @ shopify really wants your domain, and no human being at shopify bothers about Anguilla domain...!I hate to mess with a lawyer after he's been digging through my dirty laundry.
Let them decide on this issue without me.
Your choice. I also hate dealing with corporate lawyers, but sometimes it is inevitable. Without their lawyer, the udrp will proceed.I will not contact this lawyer.
If I can register a trademark "Shopify" for confectionery in Ukraine, can I register a domain name shopify.ai for this in reserve? I can register a domain name first and then a trademark, especially since the trademark registration process is long.
Make sure that udrp is terminated. It should be the case, but... Did you receive any sort of termination notification from Canadian disputes centre?I simply gave the Auth code, and they took it.
I didn't receive the termination notification.Make sure that udrp is terminated. It should be the case, but... Did you receive any sort of termination notification from Canadian disputes centre?
So, a possible scenario:I didn't receive the termination notification.
So, a possible scenario:
While we want lots of .ai domain sales as it raises significant money for The Government of Anguilla, we do not want any scammer domains tarnishing the reputation of Anguilla or ".ai". If people know of scam sites in ".ai" domains please report them. The Government of Anguilla reserves the right to remove or suspend any domain. This is usually due to one of the following or similar scamish actions:
Although objectively I had great chances
