PARTIES
Complainant is Microsoft Corporation (“Complainant”), represented by Molly Buck Richard of Richard Law Group, Inc., Texas, USA. Respondent is Arif Khan (“Respondent”), India.


REGISTRAR AND DISPUTED DOMAIN NAME

The domain name at issue is <window11updates.com>, registered with GoDaddy.com, LLC.

--------

Wait, wut?

Let's see if we can figure this one out.

The guy has Window11updates.com, and the site looks like this:

Okay, so, the idea here is to register something that obviously refers to Microsoft's Windows operating system, and provide a bunch of SEO fodder and download links for, uh, stuff that doesn't come from Microsoft.

Well, at least people like this don't show up to defend... uh, oh good golly....

----------

B. Respondent

Respondent claims that the disputed domain name does not use Complainant’s WINDOWS mark but rather utilizes the generic term “window” which is not copyrighted. Respondent does not use the domain name to sell any product related to Complainant and refers users to Complainant’s original website for buying any such product or service. Respondent has been working on the disputed domain name website for more than a year with no objection by Complainant and it does not have any wrong intention or motive to use the word “windows” which is a registered trademark for Complainant. Finally, Respondent does not believe any damage has been done to Complainant by this domain name.

I sometimes really can't imagine what goes on inside of the heads of some people.

Even more stupidity...(on myself for going to the URL, and on the domain owner for use)

Windows11Updates.com directed me to:

Even more crazy than the registration of the domain is the fact the registrant thinks thay have a defence. That's the ultimate doubling down lol.

I don't agree with using the word "Stupidity" in cases where people knowingly and willfully want to infringe on a well known Trade Mark.

What would you call it then?

I wonder which is worse, TM infringement or having another trash talking thread here on NamePros by so called professionals.
