3M Files Trademark and Anti-Cybersquatting Lawsuit Over Domain Names

Posted on June 13, 2011 Written by Bill Hartzer

3M Corporation has filed a trademark infringement and anti-cybersquatting lawsuit over domain names that appear to be similar or confusingly similar to their own trademark.

Case Number: 1:2011cv00627
Filed: June 10, 2011

Court: Virginia Eastern District Court
Office: Alexandria Office
Presiding Judge: District Judge T. S. Ellis III
Referring Judge: Magistrate Judge John F. Anderson

Nature of Suit: Intellectual Property – Trademark
Cause: 15:1051 Trademark Infringement
Jury Demanded By: Plaintiff

I am all for protecting your brand, and protecting your trademark. That is something that you must do nowadays. However, it just seems to me that this might be a little bit much, and “over the top” in this case. I mean, really–take a look at all of the domain names and companies that 3M is suing. It seems as though they’re suing “everyone”, the privacy service, Godaddy, the web hosts, and even the DNS providers, as well.
