Domain dispute - Russian dude wants all chatroulette 'related' domains
i got an official mail/letter by courier from the apparently very cocky "inventor" of above mentioned website.
(so much for domain protection)
Apparently Andrey Ternovskiy his website doesn't do so well, and he lacks any other ideas, and this is his new way of getting more visitors.
And this makes clear he is on his way out.. Fast
Funny thing is he references how he gets 500 visitors a day in Jan. 2010, and 260,000 unique monthly visitors in the 13-month period August 2016 – August 2016, thats laughable at least!
That's about 666 views a day!
(and this took him over 7 years??!! to get 166 extra visitors?)
I have landing pages that do better...
He could have saved himself a lot of money by just asking to buy the domainname...
Hell i didn't do shit on my site, was about to, but didn't yet. Just put a WP install on there, with a CB plugin, with indexing off!
(i should check visitors stats, bet i got more than he got. lol)
I googled a bit and he is after all domains with reference to his domain.
Found a bunch of wipo cases like mine.
He trademarked his site name, and he always seem to win.
Specially if you have anything related to a form of chat or live streaming.
So i think basicly i am fucked and will loose my domainname.
So if you have any domain mentioning chat and roulette, or random chat etc, you can aspect a wipo domain dispute in the (near) future.
The way i read his complaint, he is going after every site that's even a bit like his, so be warned.
Any advice on this is welcome, should i just give him the domain, or not respond and just wait?
Thanks for reading
