I'd say that sounds like bullshit to me but did you go through all the various motions with WIPO and file a defense and whatnot?
no, I just laughed. It was a $5 name and they do have mad trademarks and crap.
I never respond.

Maybe Godaddy is hit with a fee with each complaint?
They did not say that they were "passing" any fees along to me.

Is the WIPO ruling available yet ?
yes

Did the OP not have his registration info in order? Always keep your info accurate so you can answer inquiries, receive mail, make a defense, do business, etc.
The "TM HOLDER" never contacted me for a sale.
Since, It was a godaddy drop, I would be surprised if it wasn't WIPOed before.
I could care less about the "potentially" lost sale, I'm mad about the $30 Godaddy charged me. No other registrar has ever charged me because a "complaint" was filed against one of "my" names.
I'm serious, why do they need this money? What costs have they incurred?
Is it the same as a Cable company charging $35 for a "re-connection" fee? and then press a button?

Mind you there are plenty of example where no defence was made ( on purpose lol ) and the registrant still won
I really never thought I would need a defense.
I thought it would get thrown out because their site is a spanish cemetary site en espanol.
and my parked page had gardening supplies ads on it in English.
Who, besides Helen Keller, could think the two sites were similar?
I guess some Judge down in South America.
