Yeah. come to find out our trademark is just the word "Blueridge". Not Blueridge Carpet. Guess we may have to involve lawyers as that appears to be a fine point. But if nothing else, we should be able to get the domain as it appears to have been maliciously registered.

As it is a trademark, you need to actively defend it. On Tue, Sep 15, 2009 at 7:12 AM, John Aldrich <jaldr...@blueridgecarpet.com> wrote: Thanks. I'll let you guys know.

Thomas From: John Aldrich [mailto:jaldr...@blueridgecarpet.com] Sent: Tuesday, September 15, 2009 9:04 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: trademark infringement What's the best way to handle a website that infringes on your trademark? I discovered a URL that is very close to our registered trademark (actually, it *is* our trademark, plus an "s" to make it plural.) I've contacted the web host since the website is registered with a private registration and they have asked for proof of trademark (which I just sent) and are refusing to give up the account holder without a subpoena. Anything else I can do short of suing the web host? The registrar is in Indonesia, so short of filing a WIPO complaint, there's not a lot we can do. I thought it might be better to start with the web host.
