Trademark Law

Traverse Legal has been following the Enom domain theft matter very closely.   You can find a recent post concerning this issue here. Here is another instance of Enom?s alleged domain theft from its own registrant customers based on erroneous trademark claims.

Essentially, Enom has been unilaterally stealing domain names from its own registrants based on nonexistent trademark enforcement rights. Enom runs a computer software script on its database looking for variations of domain names using the letters ?enom.?  While 99.9% of the uses would likely be legitimate and non-infringing, Enom has been taking those domain names and bringing down websites associated with the domain names, unilaterally and without notice to registrants.
