Trademark Owners .XXX Opt-out Fee Hovers at $300 - GoFuckYourself.com

DVTimes · 05-16-2011, 02:41 AM

LONDON ? IPRota, the company implementing the pre-launch rights protection mechanism of .XXX, has revealed more details about end-user costs for trademark owners outside of the adult biz.

According to IPRota, those companies and individuals that want to safeguard their marks from exposure to .XXX web addresses will be charged a one-time fee of up to $300 per address to lock them from use.

"The one-off cost to the end user, set by individual registrars, will likely be in the region of $200 to $300," IPRota said in a statement.

IPRota also said that the sunrise period, known as Sunshine B, will begin in September and last for approximately 30 days. During the period, trademark owners will be able to opt-out of .XXX.

?This year will see the introduction of .XXX, arguably the most significant web suffix since .com was launched back in 1985," IPRota founder Jonathan Robinson said. "Although the top-level domain name is targeted at the adult industry, its introduction in September will have far-reaching implications."

Details of the plan are revealed in a new IPRota whitepaper titled, ?Taking Control: Safeguarding Brand Owners? Rights in .XXX,? which will be launched later today at the International Trademark Association annual meeting in San Francisco.

The paper outlines how trademark owners operating outside the adult industry can safeguard their marks in .XXX.

LOL at anyone who's stupid enough to actually pay them $300.

GetSCORECash · 05-16-2011, 04:22 AM

That's for ebay.xxx not for adult.xxx

Different price structures for mainstream?

.xxx seems more like a blackmail extention than an opportunity.

pay us 300 bucks or else someone will register elmo.xxx barbie.xxx disney.xxx

register .xxx version of your .com for anywhere from 100 dollars to god only knows or else someone will buy your hun.xxx, milfhunter.xxx, etc...

Or you can pay nothing and petition to have the offending mark given to you legally. Seems like it'd be better not to "support" the system and just take it through legal channels.

What a scam.

A trademark owner will just sue someone who uses their name. Someone get facebook.xxx or apple.xxx and let us know how it works out.

Better to let them register it and then sue the arse off them.

Keep in mind that if you do "opt-out" you can not ever "opt-in"

It's all censorship.

Far-L · 05-16-2011, 01:59 PM

Yeah, it is not like this biz model started with .xxx - we get notices all the time, "we notice that you are the trademark holder and we have some someone trying to buy your trademark domains and if you don't buy them then we are going to sell them blah blah blah... "

Irritating to say the least...

Indeed, there is no winning. It's easier to pay the $300 or you can pay a lawyer $10,000.00 or more to get it for you.

I went through that over my trademark, the offending party didn't even respond to the complaint from my attorney and I ended up with the offending domain and $8,000 worth of legal fees.
