Sorry guys. It is classic cybersquatting. There is no requirement - and indeed it would be impossible- to capture every typo, variation and extension for your trademarks. Defensive registration may be a good idea for some of the obvious ones, but it is not required. And the Anti-Cybersquatting Act creates liability of $100,000+ for registration on known trademarks.

This is very interesting. I have owned rackdaddy.com and rackdaddy.net since 2001. both are registered with a different registrar, not GoDaddy.Com. I did sign up early this year for a GoDaddy.Com affiliate program and both domains re-direct to their servers. Essentially making GoDaddy.Com my business partner on this venture.

Today I got a form email from GoDaddy.Com with the following in the body:

We hereby demand that you immediately: cease and desist your unauthorized use of these domains, cancel the forwarding of these domain names; and transfer the domain names to GoDaddy.com by November 16, 2007.

I am wondering what Trademark they would be referring to, as I doubt they could hardly have a Trademark on the word “Daddy”. If so every child should save up their allowance to pay for the right to say “Daddy”…

This is not a story at all, well to be honest godaddy should have bought the domain. the fact that it was sold from godaddy, albeit any registrar can sell any domain is utter stupid fact from you.

if they provide an infringement of copyright then they are doing it on right grounds. well i am sure he would not have brought to promote his t-shirt, he was aware of buying the domain.

[...] a bit of a twist to the usual copyright cases, GoDaddy sent a copyright infringement letter to the owner of GO-DADDY-DOMAINS.COM and GO-DADDY-DOMAIN.COM. What was unusual is that GoDaddy had [...]
