I can see how this decision may also apply to affiliates using a trademarked name in their URL.
If a hosting company receives notice that a site is potentially liable for trademark infringement and does not have a policy in place to remove the site and they fail to police their own sites, they may ultimately be responsible for contributory trademark infringement.

This worked for us. We have 3 full ® names and have made bank on people using them in their URLs and using our images . No DMCA required, this is how it should be. Why the fuck should the © owners have to jump through hoops just because some ass clown decides to steal their content or infringe on a name ?
It cost me just $600 per name to ® them and took just 6-8 months for the law office to do the search etc. There is a fast track system ( $$$$$$$) but as long as you have your application in i believe you are covered as long as there is no one using that exact name ?
