Reported in the Washington Post no less: “Dell Takes Cybersquatters to Court”. As reported a few weeks ago, this is a very thorough action targeting certain practices and practitioners… I’m surprised a suit this thorough didn’t name Google as a co-defendant.

Prof Froomkin says that quite a few of the kited domains dont even look like a Dell website so it should be fairly hard to prove counterfeiting.

Umm.. there’s no shortage of fake rolexes in Shanghai night markets, that don’t even look like a rolex.

The night market hawkers have names for these .. “fake rolex” is any old watch with “Rolex” printed on it, correct spelling optional. A genuine fake is a fairly accurate (at least on the outside) knockoff of an actual rolex watch.

Rolex treats even the “fake” ones as counterfeiting .. not just the “genuine fakes”.

— so the claim just might fly. And this set of kiters go underground, close their shell companies and resurface under some other moniker. Reply
