SiMoNsAyS Posted September 27, 2004 Posted September 27, 2004 I want to tell you the story, about a spaniard who owns a domain. Adviced by Microsoft, the company have demanded the site because of a similar and peyorative domain using the most important lawyers in Spain: "Gomez-Acebo & Pombo, Lawyers".WIPO Case Number. WIPO=World Intelectual Property OrganizationCOMPLAINT TRANSMITTAL COVERSHEET
oioldman Posted September 28, 2004 Posted September 28, 2004 Nightmare,Poor kid will have to submit as nobody can pay for the 1000's of lawyers M$ will use to beat himScary thing with the intellectual property is that M$ haven't written any software ever, as far as my memory serves, they've always bought or borowed code and then produced, so, are they not then commiting intellectual theft themselves?
Denney Posted September 28, 2004 Posted September 28, 2004 Personally, I have to agree with Microsoft on this one. I mean the font, words look like Microsoft's logo...I mean, demading him to give it to them is a bit much but to me, whoever owns that www.mocosoft.com site was asking for it.
SiMoNsAyS Posted September 28, 2004 Author Posted September 28, 2004 the guy has to pay $2000 if he want the tribunal to be constituted by 3 judges and not 1 (more possibilities to win), and that it's the beginning. what about if he win? he can demand m$ for damages?what it's really interesting it's that m$ have demanded the site for the similar domain and the similar logo, nothing related to the content...
Denney Posted September 28, 2004 Posted September 28, 2004 The same thing happened to a place that used a logo that was too close to the Google logo (had nothing to do with Google, just happened to use the same colors, in the same order and the same style).They lost ofcourse. This is the same thing really. Big corporations are really taking this copyright thing to far.
