Name: Karl J. Sadlowsky Organization: Orlando Software Group, Inc. Position: Vice President I do not beleive that the WIPO should be doing things such as the following taken from an online article. "For example, a WIPO arbitration panel last April announced a decision to take Crew.com, a generic name, from a small-business owner and transfer it to J. Crew International, the sportswear manufacturer." The manufacturer already has the the domain name "JCrew.com" which is closely releated to the name of the company, while "Crew.com" is generic and should have been left with the original owner if the original owner was not squating. Yes the name is close, but J. Crew International is not known as "Crew", but as "JCrew". I do get thier catalog "JCrew" and believe this to have been an injust action taken by the WIPO. This sets a bad precedent that gives preferential treatment to the large corporations. |
