What's up with suing

[Wilfredo]

Here in Sweden Ive never heard of any got sued, here at the forum its allmost a more common word than reg fee :D

If you fight about a domain you go to WIPO court, isnt that right ?
Have you ever heard of anyone that have had to pay cause the owned a TM domain ?

I believe most domain owners realize that it is not worth going to court over and back down somehow or another. Of course, you could go to court over it but it is going to cost you.
Luckly I have never been in that situation...yet anyway.

 

[aww]

WIPO is just to get the domain name back. They can do it for a $1000 filing fee (to fight it you have to pay the same).

If a company can prove you caused loss to their business or quality of their mark, they can sue you for damages.

I've noticed you liked to "play with fire" on some of your domain choices. Note that those in the past that have done the same have not ended up well (and not respected in the "community").

In the end there is little monitary gain anyway so it's not worth the cheap thrills.

(not judging you, just some friendly advice from my research)

aww its not to play with fire.
Like microsoftz.com its just a fun and cool domain, and if Microsoft would want it I would just say take it to WIPO.
They probably will win and I dont care, its just a fun domain to have to vhost, email and other...

"WIPO court"? That's an interesting name for it.

WIPO is more of a proprietary alternative to court for domain names I'd say.
