this is addidas.com's 2nd WIPO!

 

[.biz]

if they keep letting the domain dropped, then they will have to do it over again..

 

[Mr. Deleted]

yeah, remeber the drop a few month ago, where it went for like 35K+ and then the sale reversed? Well not sure what the final price was, but it was xx,xxx. I hope the guy earned his money back!

I am positive once this one is said and done, you will find this name forwarded to the official adidas.com website

Maybe they forget to change nameservers or modify the url forward...

 

[csitenet]

if they can't even hold/renew a domain name they don't deserve it...

I hope the lose the wipo to take it, its simply NOT right...

 

[jdk]

Exactly. Or make them pay xx,xxx to get it back.

Bump - addidas.com pending delete again
3rd WIPO on its way...

IMO - if a company lets a domain drop then they should lose all rights to it.

I've seen some companies sue to get a domain, then it drops, it gets picked up, then they sue again.

@$$Holes.

That's why I prefer Nike gear

I wonder if "they deliberatly let it drop insinuating that they did not want the domain" is a good argument for defense?

If I throw something into the trash there is no law against someone getting it from the landfull.

 

[Theo]

I doubt it. You cannot force a tm holder to defensively register every possible permutation or typo that infringes on their mark.

I'm more of a "Pro Keds" type of guy personally.

The ones with special cases like that should though...

And why not? If it is that important then they should keep them and point them to their own site. It's just a reg fee after the initial costs and they can set up autorenewal.

If you fight to get the domain then let it drop (a few times, even) then I think you should lose the rights to that domain.

Corporations do not see it from a domainer's perspective e.g. converting natural typos the way a 404 error would be directed. They view tm assets as property that should not be imitated. If your logic were to be followed, Adidas should purchase and maintain ownership of every counterfeit factory of their products that happened to be fined for producing counterfeit Adidas products.

True, corporations do not, but they have a website *and* a department that manages it and they should.

 

[peanutbutterX]

this may sound retarted but how do you start one of these post things?

I think that you assume their IP/web department views the domaining world the way we do. Back in 2003 I registered the .net of a major microprocessor manufacturer (it had dropped) and offered it to them for free. The person in charge of the IP department thanked me and...nothing happened since. I still renew it every year, pointing it to the .com.
