Register a Famous Trademark as a Domain Name; Get Sued

By Michael Atkins

ADVERTISEMENTS

There’s no middle ground here.

Either the defendants were completely clueless or they just didn’t care. My money’s on the latter.

On Sept. 19, 2009, Montana Thomas and Credit.com, Inc., allegedly registered mastercard.cm. 

On March 10, 2010, Mastercard International, Inc., filed suit against Mr. Thomas and Credit.com in the Western District.

The case is situated here because defendants allegedly registered the domain name through eNom Inc., which is headquartered in Bellevue.

Mastercard alleges half a dozen causes of action, from cybersquatting to dilution.

Anyone taking bets on whether defendants will default?

The case cite is Mastercard International, Inc. v. Thomas, No. 10-361 (W.D. Wash. 2010).
