Nissan.com - The Battle still raging 14 years later

[Pred]

Nissan.com was regged back in 1994 by Mr.Nissan, he ran a couple of associated businesses with it, he still does.
Nissan decided they wanted and they have bullied this guy for 10 years.

I wonder if the motor company has ever offered to buy the domain name from Mr. Nissan?

Seems like many hours, much stress and a lot of money could be saved if the motor company offered Mr. Nissan a x,xxx,xxx amount for a domain name that rightfully belongs to him.

Glad to see he got to keep his domain!!!!

I'm going to have a baby next year, just keep waiting, I believe my son or daughter will become a good lawyer before 25 years old and finally helps Nissan to settle this case by paying a lot of $.

Why not call him Nissan as a first name then Mr Nissan could transfer the domain to him if it looked a bit dodgy.

Infact, why not call him, Nissan Microsoft Ebay Google YourSurname
:hehe: Then he could really have some fun in the Domain business.

We should all put that link in all kinds of websites and get that guy as much recognition and publication as he can get. At the same time, boycott NMC.

Nissancomputer is different, Nissan is more of a car manufacturing, nissancomputer IMHO is perfectly valid.

the funny thing is someone is cybersquatting on http://www.nissancomputer.com

FYI:

http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=46897&highlight=nissan

Lots of tidbits there that might give folks a better picture.

And unless I missed something, I don't see any application by Nissan for any
computer products save maybe consumer electronics products like audio and
video players.

 

[yilduz]

Hmm... all of this makes me think I should create a car company named Microsoft.

And his Adsense block at the top is showing ads for....Nissan Motor Cars!!

 

[Rob J]

Wow, i've never owned a Nissan but now I will consciously avoid buying one. What a bunch of asshole thugs.

Thats a no no,

This is outrageous though: quote from the site: " Nissan Motor is attempting to obtain a Federal Trademark Registration for computers"

 

[skylineleong]

Until now.

If own the "Nissan?????.com" & "?????Nissan.com" domain name? Is it legal?
Any ideas?

Thanks

The court ordered NMC to pay $58,000 as cost under rule 68, this is less then 2% of what the cost was to defend this case.

http://okok.com/nissancom-the-battle-still-rages/

They spent around $2,900,000 (2.9 million dollars) to defend this case?

:S
