motorazr.com vs. Motorola: the verdict is in!

Vincent Nguyen let my great and good friend Judie Hughes from Gear Diary know about an incredibly imortant decision that just came back ruling in favor of “the little guy”.  In part, what Vincent said was:

Regular readers may be aware that the guys behind SlashGear, SlashPhone, MYiPhone, Unbox.IT (among others) have been involved in a domain name dispute with Motorola since October last year. The URL in question is MOTORAZR.com, which we registered back in July 2004, and has been a source of cellphone related news ever since.

Three aspects of Motorola’s complaint were ruled on: that the domain name is confusingly similar to a trademark in which they have rights; that we, the current owners of MOTORAZR.com, had neither rights nor legitimate interests in the domain, and that we had registered and used it in “bad faith”.

This is definitely a MUST READ folks so head over to Gear Diary for the rest of the story!
