A federal lawsuit was filed last week in the New Jersey District Court for trademark infringement against the owners of 231 domain names some of which are pretty generic and 26 of which are no longer registered.
Besides the 26 that are no longer registered, 16 domain names named as defendants in the lawsuit are in redemption period and are lightly to be deleted as well.
Meaning that about 20% of the domain names in the lawsuit are basically not serving up anything that would infringe on the Plaintiff’s various trademarks.
The oldest domain was registered back 11 years ago in 2003.
Here are the Plaintiff’s:
AMERICAN BRIDAL & PROM INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION, INC.
MON CHERI BRIDALS, LLC
PROMGIRL, INC.
MAGGIE SOTTERO DESIGNS, LLC
LA FEMMA BOUTIQUE, INC.

BrianWick says
must have been doing some pretty illegal stuff – like counterfeit – when they were “RENTING” those domains from the central registry 🙂
ayemenian says
Wow, if they win this, then there really is no justice unless you are really rich.
The majority of these names are very generic.
The questions that remain are:
Are the names worth defending?
Does the person who registered then have the money to defend him or her self?
John Berryhill says
Where are you getting “filed last week”?
AMERICAN BRIDAL & PROM INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION, INC. et al v. WEDDINGSHOPEVANSVILLE.COM et al was filed last September.
