How time flies! It was a year ago, when Rick Schwartz unleashed the ‘kraken‘, by winning a monumental reverse domain name hijacking decision against Brazilian entrepreneur, Márcio Mello Chaves.
The SaveMe.com decision confirmed Rick’s full authority over a domain that pre-dated any later claims for a trademark in the land of samba and tiny bikinis.
A year later, Rick Schwartz’s list of reverse domain name hijackers continues to grow, presenting a digital wall of shame to anyone willing to steal domain assets via a UDRP.
Let’s hope that in the future, WIPO and NAF panelists will use the SaveMe.com case as an educational milestone in similar decisions.
Roast all hijackers, get to the choppa!
Donald Trumps lawyers sent me to wipo
they want me to give up my domain that I paid
cash for from a guy in NJ and he had it for sale
for years. They trademarked in 2004 but
the guy before me got it before 2004
and I am a realtor in Miami Beach and I sold
Trump Palace apts and rented there also.
I have a legit interest. My site never said I am
Trump or I work for Him or anything. They continually
email me and sent me a fed ex saying they are going to sue
but soon wipo will decide.
