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.
The representative of the company greatly underestimates the imagination of domainers.
I am sure that the domainers 'invented' this word before the company Shopify.
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.
No. That's my point. It's not a dictionary word. It's invented, as Shopify states.Is Facebook in Webster dictionary?
Da Igor …Brands are able to file for takebacksThe company bought these names, but did not win them back in disputes
But perhaps not invented by them.No. That's my point. It's not a dictionary word. It's invented, as Shopify states.
You can have Shopify as long as it servers another purpose IgorBut perhaps not invented by them.

Remember, the company was founded in 2006.
I have already won a similar dispute.Even if that was the case, Shopify is TM'd and that's all that matters.
No it was created in 1990I have already won a similar dispute.
Here it is important to prove that in this name the main component is not shopify, but ai. They may have developed the word "shopify", but I developed the domain zone .ai . Before me, almost no one used this zone. There are a bunch of registered shopify names that Shopify company is not interested in, for example https://www.mydomaincontact.com/index.php?domain_name=shopify.am , but this name is of interest to them because it contains AI.Shopify is a made up word...The company made it up and called their business that before you registered the domain. It is their trademark.
Almost all trademarks are made up words or combinations. You probably could trademark Metaversify if you want to use it for a business and claim it for own if you really want to.
I think they are going to win this one.
When Shopify was first an e-commerce platform, it was called Jaded Pixel. Shopify as we know it today was founded in Ottawa by Tobias Lütke, Daniel Weinand, and Scott Lake.
