But it would be a good idea to at least also get the .net,.org and maybe .biz and info.

i don't see how that blog is connected to the domain name, but heh?
Although I will say that any legal battle or dealing can way heavy on a woman's purse (or a man's pocket for that matter) so she might need to crack open the piggy jar if she wants a fight.

She should just negotiate her way to a nice little sum and sell the domain

Rad!!!
you sound alot like Sally Rand.

sounds like she is just being stupid for the principal. take the money and move on. no one wants .co domains anyways. why would someone set up a blog on a .co? especially one that means nothing to them.

fight the patent!

Anyone who is serious will start the arbitration process with ICAAN, it's the only way to get a domain name. As for having a claim on a certain term or word even if it is part of a trademark doesn't mean squat if you are not using the domain to divert clients away from them or in a malicious manner.

Thanks?

Rad!!!

Heads will roll.

Maybe?

Hate to break this to you, but your "other routes" are a waste of time too. You have absolutely no chance to win this domain unless you bribe the panel with free porn for life.

Assuming the above info is correct, your trademark was not filed prior, and even if it was, you still cant show that the domain was registered in "bad faith" as the subject matter on the site is entirely different.

What makes me so sure?

Fifteen years of being a domainer with so many domains bought and sold over the years I could not possibly keep track. Easily owned 2,000, probably more like 3,000 domains.

If you are so eager to spend money on domains I will sell you a few of mine LOL but you have no chance at getting this domain if she wont sell it, sorry-

That being said the person is stupid not to take the 5K IMO

http://manwin.net/ http://manwin.org/

lol ..

This could be solved very easily - call up Vendilla's *gangsta* room mate and he'll take care of everything.

LOL @ Bribe the panel with free porn for life.

Maybe they might bribe them with the money the chick refused to take too haha

They probably refused to give up their domains too. Im waiting for the multiple UDRP cases to come out. Will be fun to follow.

Do you think if Manwin filed UDRP cases and lost them all, would that be funny or embarrassing? Or both?

Based on the above, I can't see why she shouldn't keep the domain.

To knock back $5k, I don't understand!!!

I'd be enjoying this if I was Manwin. I would also purposely leave all other extensions unregistered in hopes this would happen again.

We're all here talking about Manwin, so win for them. What negative light could possibly come from this? There is no bad publicity! Those in the know understand this is just business as usual, and if the story would happen to make its way into some mainstream news, Manwin gets their name out there again.

Again, I'd be watching this with joy knowing that this is one big branding/marketing campaign that they already paid for with retainer fees.

That is one pretty damn good way of looking at it, if you were them or working for them!

Good read Nissan vs. Nissan

LMFAO @ that blog.

Look me, Glasshopper! Me talk about soul, cos all China person are very Zen.

I construct complex word perfect sentence month ago, when forget I China person:

"That is true sacrifice and once again it proves the existence of the soul within our fragile human bodies."

But go full retard, now more people watch blog:

"I ok rich but father is very rich so i rich through family" ... "I not need any more problems with blog"

Coz me think China person speak English like white person with stroke.

Perfect example of big companies trying to bully smaller entities. Surley a good read mate.

I wonder how much Manwin would throw at a court case if they ever lost a UDRP?

A bit racist the way you put it but i did LMAO there for a second on a few parts

not according to ICM :winkwink: (just joking of course.)

That is very funny. I am sure Nathan will find it funny too.

Good question:error

I'm new to the industry. Starting my own site here soon. For now that's all I can tell you.

I have to agree with you on this one. The owner of manwin.co should win this one. Historically; (1) Nina Shoes with their trademark went after Nina Hartley for nina.com and lost. (2) Whitehouse Apple Juice with their trademark went after the boys at whitehouse.com and lost. (3) Fallen Angel with their trademark still can't get fallenangel.com. There are many more examples.

As long as the owner of manwin.co responds to the complaint to avoid a default judgment, the domain will stay where it is.

Agreed!! Also what is up with this look. So if you look at the whois for manwin.com, its being protected by a Hong Kong privacy service. So if you look at Manwincn.com, which I'm sure manwin didn't try and threaten, its a company in Hong Kong that sells certain products. Could it be that manwin bought the manwin.com domain from them and just kept the privacy option from the previous company?
Also didn't manwin claim to be aggressively persistent about their trademark or something. Well its strange that their privacy service is in Hong Kong and there is another ckmpany called manwin limited which has been in business since 1984.

Who is with me when I say they can't do shit about the domain and are only blowing steam at some chick? How silly. I think I'm done with this thread. We obviously won't be seeing any udrp cases from this because clearly they would be retarded do one.

Sorry if i wasted anyones time.

Rad out!!!
