If Tiscover does not retract the registrations and uphold their reputation, I can imaigine that many newspapers in the UK would be interested in such a blatent and unstopped fraud on this scale. I may pursue selling the story to them. I rather like the idea of profiting legitimately from cheats.

If Tiscover does retract the registrations, they may attempt to retrieve their $500,000 by making Plankenstein a scapegoat and taking Afilias/ Speednames to court for accepting such a blatently unacceptable order which contravenes their contractual obligations stating that the TM details must be verified.

Although LaPlante actually issued a statement saying that Afilias could not have liased with all TM databases in the world hence the frauds slipping through the net, this is a lame and inadequate excuse when a reistrar accepts thousands of TM registrations dating back to the 1800s.
