TM Question about PayPalSucks.com

Can't PayPal shut them down? They are using PayPal and isn't it TMed?

I think there is something for freedom of speech..but not sure..This is a great question lets see what everyone has to say

I think they have every right to make a site containing important information about paypal regarding the security, etc. Everyone has the right to know about it!

But PayPal has the power to take the domain since PayPal is thier TM.

ya...that's the thing that bugs me...all other paypal related names are shut down almost instantly....

why is this domain still surviving?

Strange... :tri:

It's one thing to be sued for trademark infringement, it's another if they can't
prove the current owner has legitimate uses or isn't using it in bad faith.

PayPal has the money, but not the power if they can't convince the proper
dispute resolution venues of their case. And as long as paypalsucks isn't
commercially exploiting PayPal's trademark, misleading intended PayPal users
or visitors for their own gain, or even attempted to sell the name to PayPal
themselves, there's nothing PayPal can do.

Read about UDRP or ACPA. It's actually educational.
