Hello,voetbal.info (Dutch for football/soccer!) is claimed with a fake trademark
from 7-22-2001! You can
only apply with trademarks older than 1 or 2? years!!
I wonder if this guy has more claims...
Joris Maas
P.S. What can I/we do to straighten
things out? Below a reply from Afilias:
-------------------
I am an intellectual
property attorney and a policy consultant to Afilias.
I am responding to your
inquiry about the sunrise period domain name
registration. In accordance with
the terms of its contract with ICANN,
neither Afilias nor the individual registrars
independently verified the
underlying trademark data associated with each Sunrise
Registration, see
Appendix J
http://www.icann.org/tlds/agreements/info/registry-agmt-appj-11may01.htm.
If
you believe that this Sunrise Registration does not qualify, then you may
want
to consider filing a Sunrise Challenge as set forth in Appendix J.
Information
on the Sunrise Challenge process can be found on our website at
http://www.afilias.info/faq/sunrise-challenge.html.
You
should also be aware that Afilias has announced that it will be the
challenger
of last resort in connection with facially invalid Sunrise
Registrations, see
http://www.afilias.info/press-room/releases/release-20010815-1.html.
Please
be advise that if the domain in question is deemed to be facially invalid
and
is cancelled, the allocation of this domain name will be done in an yet
to be
announced equitable manner.
If you have a complaint against a specific registrar,
I would encourage you
to contact that registrar and attempt to resolve your dispute.
If after
this exchange you feel that your concerns have not been properly addressed,
you
may wish to file a complaint with ICANN the organization that accredited
individual
registrars. ICANN has provided the following online complaint
form for complaint
submissions.
