In the case cited at the start of this thread (suedtirol.info) it is fair to say
that Mr Grabensee DID have fake Trademark details submitted in his name.The Trademark
("suedtirol.com") was supposedly granted by the Italian system with the Trademark
number 123456
It seems unacceptable that Mr Grabensee would agree to submit this
FAKE information, so perhaps someone would like to explain further?
I assume that
this has been confirmed as a fake, since WIPO took the name off Mr Grabensee in the
Challenge period.
However, my real concern would be if Mr Grabensee is an Afilias
director. If he is, then it seems wholly unacceptable that he should be registering
FAKE details in his name, which could result in other people being defrauded, and
which abuse Afilias's own systems.
A very similar action was committed by Afilias
CEO Hal Lubsen's company DomainBank with the support they offered to Lorenz's wholly
ineligible names - a clear abuse of Afilias's system - but at least in that case,
the names were not registered in an Afilias director's name.
Hal Lubsen has failed
to offer any explanation for the abuse of Afilias's system, in this forum.
Perhaps
Mr Grabensee would like to do so?
