I looked at the site of a fairly small scale reseller the other day, and noticed he seem to specialize in names that would be good product or company names. I don't recognize any brands I knew. But in the "description" for each domain he had the little TM symbol next to the name.
I looked up a few of them and sure enough, those with the little TMs had USPTO live trademarks, owned by various companies.
Unless I'm missing something, is this guy not begging to be sued WITH damages? He can't claim he didn't know about the TM infringement since he's indicating that knowledge on his site, and in fact apparently making it a selling point.
Anyone else have thoughts on this?? I can't help thinking I MUST have missed some valid reason for doing this.
