Today the company Shopify started a dispute with me regarding the name shopify.ai .
I have many excellent arguments, which I will describe later.
I have many excellent arguments, which I will describe later.
A quick google search reveals that "There are 1,019 live Shopify stores in Ukraine.":I can say with confidence that in my locality, where the population is larger than in Anguilla, no one has heard of this Canadian company
Since the term, as shown above, is more or less known in Ukraine in connection with the Canadian business, your TM application would likely be denied. It appears that this exact situation is described in Ukranian law:Can I register "Shopify" trademark for confectionery products in Ukraine?
You cannot. It is not how UDRP works. "Canadian entity" is a technical body though. They do not decide. It all depends on a panelist, and you should expect that a single panelist would be located in a third country (this is how UDRP providers normally set the things, exactly to eliminate questions like yours). Of course you may pay for 3 members panel and would therefore be able to suggest panelists, but it makes no sense in this case.I consider it unfair for a dispute between a Canadian entity and a non-Canadian entity to be held in a Canadian entity. This should be considered in a neutral country. How can I withdraw?
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
So, a possible scenario:I didn't receive the termination notification.
If desired, attackers could permanently register names with a brand and defame it. After all, names are much faster and easier to register than to be taken through bureaucratic procedures, even if there is a well-oiled name-taking pipeline. But probably no one knows, so this is a purely imaginary possibility.
The domain names in issue in this proceeding are <guinness-really-sucks.com>; <guinness-really-really-sucks.com>; <guinness-beer-really-sucks.com>; <guinness-beer-really-really-sucks.com>; <guinness-sucks.com>; <guinnessreallysucks.com>; <guinnessreallyreallysucks.com>; <guinnessbeerreallysucks.com>; <guinnessbeerreallyreallysucks.com>; <guinness-beer-sucks.com>; and <guinnessbeersucks.com> ("said domain names").
The Complainant submits that the Respondent is not making a legitimate non-commercial or fair use of the said domain names. In support of this claim the Complainant has submitted a print out of the Respondent's www site accessible via the <guinnes.com> domain name in which it is alleged that the Respondent has stated that he registered the said domain names because he was angry with the Complainant for filing an ICANN complaint seeking the transfer of the said <guinnes.com> domain name. It is alleged that the Respondent posted the said domain names on his said www site accessible via the said <guinnes.com> www site address during the approximate period from June 1 to July 14, 2000. The Complaint states that the said domain names had not been used in connection with active www sites as of the date of filing of the Complaint.
In support of its argument that the said domain names were registered by the Respondent as a result of the earlier administrative proceedings, the Complainant has submitted a print-out of a page on the Respondent's said www site and alleges the following statement was posted on that www site during the period from June 1 through July 14, 2000:
"I tell you, I was so upset when I got this STUPID ASS LETTER from the GOOFBALL JACKASS LAWYERS at guinness beer, that I went to register the domain name, GUINNESSSUCKS.COM, but guess what, that domain name is already owned by someone. Guess who. That's right. Guinness beer owns it themselves. I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks they suck. THEY THINK THEY SUCK THEMSELVES!! . . . So anyway I did go and register a few names about guinness beer and pillsbury. Tell me what you think....Coming Soon to a website near you!!"
On the said print-out of the page on the Respondent's www site there is a list of what the Complainant describes as twenty-two (22) "Guinness sucks" and "Pillsbury sucks" domain names allegedly registered by the Respondent in response to the Complainants initiation of the said earlier administrative proceedings.
The Complainant argues that the Respondent admitted on the said <guinnes.com> www page that he registered the said domain names at issue in this proceeding because he was angered by the Complainant's attempt to take the domain name <guinnes.com> away from him. The registration of the said domain names at issue in this proceeding was done in bad faith and not for a legitimate purpose, rather Respondent's intent is to harass the Complainant for its attempts to enforce its trademark rights and to tarnish the <GUINNESS> trademark.
Accordingly, this Administrative Panel decides that said domain names <guinness-really-sucks.com>; <guinness-really-really-sucks.com>; <guinness-beer-really-sucks.com>; <guinness-beer-really-really-sucks.com>; <guinness-sucks.com>; <guinnessreallysucks.com>; <guinnessreallyreallysucks.com>; <guinnessbeerreallysucks.com>; <guinnessbeerreallyreallysucks.com>; <guinness-beer-sucks.com>; and <guinnessbeersucks.com> should be transferred to the Complainant.
The disputed domain names <germanlego.com>, <legogiraffe.com>, <legogiraffepenis.com>, and <legopenis.com> are all registered with GoDaddy.com Inc.
The disputed domain names <applelego.com>, <legoapple.com>, <legocunt.com>, <legofuck.com>, <legopen.com>, <legopened.com>, <legopening.com>, <legopenz.com>, <legosex.com>, <legoxxx.com>, <pornlego.com>, <sexlego.com> and <xxxlego.com> are registered with Name.com, Inc. (Name.com LLC) (the “Registrar”).

Is Facebook in Webster dictionary?Can you find the word shopify in a dictionary anywhere? It's not listed at the morewords link you supplied. It's not at dictionary.com or Merriam Webster.
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.

"do they have what it takes to capitalize on this emerging opportunity?"
I believe that a person's Right to Internet access includes the right to register a domain name.
And this human right should not be violated by the machinations of rich companies.
Jberryhill showed how clearly the conveyor for taking names works.

So, Shopify's lawyers use as an argument that the word "shopify" was invented by the company.
Why can't I use 'amazon.book' to publish a book about the Amazon rainforest or use 'apple.shop' if I'm not a producer of organic apples?
Can there be complaints about the domain names of three characters?
Intuitively, I don't.
