IP attorney David E. Weslow, Wiley Rein partner.
Attorney David E. Weslow, partner with the Wiley Rein IP law firm announced that a large stash of domains that were stolen and moved to the Chinese domain registrar, Ename, has been reclaimed.
The lawsuit was filed late last year and involved 14 valuable domain names, most of them LLL .coms.
The client and lawful registrant, Acme Billing Company, is now in the possession of these formerly stolen domain names.
The case took longer than originally anticipated, due to some internal restructuring at the court’s personnel.
According to Mr. Weslow:
“The Acme Billing case was the first federal lawsuit of its kind on behalf of an e-commerce company that had domain names stolen by computer hackers based in China.
The suit, which included claims under the Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection (ACPA) and the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA), concluded with Acme Billing successfully obtaining the court-ordered return of the stolen domain names.”
Mr. Weslow recently gave an interview to Bennet Kelley on Webmaster Radio, that lays out the status of rampant domain theft in China, and a need for ICANN to intervene.
Congratulations to Mr. Weslow and to Wiley Rein for the successful reclaiming of these premium domain assets.
Why not ask a relevant China based lawyer to suit Ename,
get the real info of the thieves,
and report it to police and then put them into jails.
