Nissan Motors vs Nissan.COM - Domain Name Wars...

Lawsuit

Another domain war, frankly, now I would never buy a nissan anymore.. how many of you guys are supported of a small company that existed before the name nissan was used in united state ?

This has been going on for quite a while, I first saw it 6 months ago.

Personally I think they guy should sell them the domain for like $50 million.

Then he can forget about his business & go lay out in the carribean.

That's r-uh-diculous.

 

[littleprince]

it's sad of course...

i go with selling it too!!

i thought if your company name was also your name, it doesnt follow the same trademark laws?

 

[gittyup]

I would agree. Sell the name for some redicilous amount...

this is like when Microsoft sued the X-Box software company, allthough X-Box software was around a long time before some bozo at MS came up with the name Xbox. X-Box even had is trademarked and their stock symbol is XBOX, but MS tried to bully them and still sued!

That's a r-uh-diculous amount.

Big companies do this all the time, so it doesn't really lower my opinion of Nissan at all. Go to Survivor.com and you'll see CBS has tried to get that domain as well.

Since they're spending millions upon millions of dollars on advertising to try and publicize the name Nissan, I can't really fault them for at least trying to get the domain. I'm not saying it's right, but you've gotta figure they're going to try.

Though I did not go through all of the article I'm sure he did not mention that at one time he had all sorts of car banners on his site. This was when he was operating as Nissan Computer company. He was fragrantly abusing the name so I don't feel sorry for him at all.

I love my Nissan truck and would buy a Nissan again.

Get a load of the computers that the guy is selling on that website.. the stuff is outdated by over a year LOL

Maybe Nissan should go by the name of Datsun again.

Does the guy even use the domain anymore? If he does he needs to update his business. I mean check this out, these are the CPU's he is selling. Fastest he has is a Pentium III 750 for $279!! Yea, no thanks. Or you can head to his memory page and get 128MB of PC133 for $169. Where do I sign up!!

 

[SuperTool]

I hope Nissan wins this one or buys this domain. I am tired of typing nissandriven.com
That Uzi guy should have seen this one coming when he registered Nissan.com. The point is, the vast majority of traffic to that site is from people looking for nissan cars, not whatever he is selling there.

Remember when gateway was something like gw2k.com. Now that was confusing.

 

[trmiv]

I remember when Creative was www.creaf.com.

 

[Demon-Xanth]

The whole &quot;that is my domain&quot; thing is just annoying. Same with people that move into a dangerous/noisy place THEN complain. Whoever was there second has to either live with the first or move.

I just think its funny when companies register new names they also tend to register xxxsucks.com along with it.
