Found this in another forum. Apparently a service called SwapNames has just
been sued by SnapNames for TM infringement:
http://dockets.justia.com/docket/court-ordce/case_no-3:2007cv01178/case_id-84591/
SwapNames accounced on their site they're rebranding to Zuho by October 9.
On the face of it, SwapNames has a registration at USPTO that doesn't seem
to infringe Snap's TM. Appears anyway so feel free to correct me if I'm sadly
missing something.
Problem is they arguably both look and sound rather too close to each other,
not to mention SnapNames has been active in the domain name market much
longer.
Thoughts?
Edit: found this tidbit from SwapNames' site:
http://www.swapnames.com/about_us.aspx
Hmm, maybe that's why?

SwapNames.com is an online marketplace for domain name owners to actively swap, buy or sell their domain names or web sites.
