Those scamboogers will have their dirty deeds online forever.
Serves them right.
They should end up with the Enron GC gang in the same jail cell as Bubba.

Only a matter of time before they all get caught. This is the next business on the list of reform Patents will be next.

Filing illegal trademarks could be a felony if they used a computer over state lines to file false information.

a lot of people were looking for trademarks that they could file and then extort money from the Websites that used them. The law allowed them to do this and ICANN the organization that handles Websites went along with the company that had the trademark even if they got it after the Website company went online. Amazing. Even if the trademarked company is not ligitimate. This was a scam that they were working in the early days of the Internet. Some are still going on today.

If you catch them before they get the mark you can notify them that they will be responsible for all cost associated with a lawsuit and in the end if they lose they will have to pay it all back.

The database will be there forever even after the filings are dead.
They keep a record of everything forever to show any patterns that may arise in the future or to investigate the past.

For anyone else trying to steal a name away from someone else using this tactic let them be warned there are people looking for this scam now that it has been revealed.

There are NO MORE SECRETS and that is the way it is.

For others in a trademark jam go to www.USPTO.gov and it will tell you all you need to know.

Basically you have common law right to ownership if you were the first one to use a name.
