Posted by DomainGang on November 10, 2011 · Leave a Comment

There’s an update to the ongoing battle for the Chatroulette trademark and it’s not what one would expect it to be.

In February we wrote about Chatroulette – the playground of chronic flashers and masturbators – and the company’s failure to secure a trademark from the get go.

It seems that the results are in: [...]
