Some of them are just plain stupid! |

For the life of me, I can't understand why someone would
risk so much money to obviously register a name where they don't own a TM. It's just
too risky. First of all, you can be sure that people (like us) will check
up on them (which might explain why diabetes.info and medical.info has had subsequent
challengers). Plus, a friend of mine (an IP lawyer) even had a phone call from the
WIPO in Switzerland verifying his identity AND another potential challenger emailed
him asking for proof of his TM. He faxed this woman a copy of the TM certificate
to avoid having to shell out another $295 to WIPO to prove that he owned it (albeit
refunded when he was vindicated). If these guys want to give money away, give it
to the Red Cross instead! Cheers,
Dave
