funny thing is this isnt shap's sextube , this is a totally different sextube who made an application for "pornotube" one week before shap applied for "sextube"

Great find I can't wait to hear his explanation on this one. Guess it was just a coincidence.

Interesting indeed

Bump for this thread.

fucked world

fucked

:2 cents:

Did they want to steal away PORNOTUBE.COM ?

What in the FUCK???

I like to dress in woman's clothing, and run down the street shouting 'Chase Me ! Chase Me!'...

Its fun !!

Nice uncomfortable find.

LOL, looks like they arnt getting this one... good try though... not.

in heels? :Graucho

Duncan? Is that you?

Could be as simple as a better completed application with more information.

as the world turns

isn't the domain safe aslong as it was registered previous to the TM though? maybe he was planning on buying it.. hes still a twofaced asshole tho.

interesting ... :)

The same guys filed a claim for sextube:

dam, it's getting itchy around here

so technically, these guys could go back and petition to either get sextube given to them or have the trademark removed entirely..

very interesting. someone should contact them and tell them about this..

Trademark squatting in hopes of domain shaving.

Top notch!

These guys registered a number of BS trademarks with the sole purpose to go after premium domains. They did exactly what you guys accused of. We aren't after people's domains like these guys. We are just looking to protect ourselves.

The shitty part about this thread is most people won't read it all the way thru and assume that is us. Thanks :disgust

We squashed these POS with the Trademark office. Why would you contact them and tell them anything? They never owner PornoTube and never owned sextube but registered trademarks to try to get them. These are guys you want to contact? Wow.

i only reg domains with disney, weiser, and tube in the url

Is this where you learned the strategy?

Passing it on?
:321GFY

People probably won't read properly so here you go :2 cents:

shap i think he was trying to give an example of a prior in scope use of your trademark term "sex Tube"

funny how 95% of webmasters who replied to this thread, missed this

edit: Roald beat me to it

Fuck you,

going after hardsextube.com is a fucking joke.. it was well established on it's own.

Quite simply, your a piece of shit on all counts.

whats that lol

now this is getting better

omg :1orglaugh

I have a TM on mmm, this is your only official warning, surrender mmmtube.com to me at once.

Thanks in advance.

:1orglaugh

Respect given to Shap for protecting what he thinks is his. Respect for actually doing business correctly, respect for following through, and respect for trying.

I understand this post isn't really related to him.. But clearly the rest of you do nothing but eat off the same moldy cheese every day. You people simply don't get it and it shines through with every post made.

sorry shap if you are offended, but really , people that dont read the post properly are prob not the people you need to worry about.

It seems to me this company was trying to trademark squat, i agree. I just found it curious that you regged sextube tm a week after they filed for pornotube using sextube as the filing name? Is this just pure luck or is there more to the story ? I'm not trying to accuse you of anything bad , just asking because the whole reasoning seems cloudy.

Did you just randomly pick that date to file , were you warned someone was trying to trademark your domain name ? if so how did you find out. The other sextube appears they were incorporated in nevada as sextube well before you applied for the tm on sextube. You mentioned in the other thread about already fighting this company for officialsextube.com ( still up and owned by them it appears )

Were you tipped off by a trademark lawyer ? did you file for the tm after doing a search and seeing their application ?

p.s. this is your own personal biz and your welcome to just say "none of your business", but curiosity got the best of me

Quick question for you, still posting full length batman videos on surfer forums? just wondering i couldnt find the video anymore since the last time you posted it, so if you can update it on that forum i would love it.

I don't know who you think I am, but you are wrong. I'm flattered you guys are so concerned about it though...

all of this is not my business..
I'm just curious if SexTube Inc. was established before, can they claims that SexTube TM should belong to them, how does that work?

want to really laugh?

look up the trademark application for Iporn and Iporns

its very interesting.

oh snap, shap!

It wasnt Shap :2 cents:

oh man now that's fucking funny.

If I remember correctly back around 2006 or so, there was a pretty big topic about someone trying to steal a domain via a trade mark. I remember at that point many people's eye were likely opened and I wouldn't doubt there were a lot of TM's registered after that topic.

I remember the topic was on this board and there was some heavy TM talk in it back then. I don't remember what the topic was about other than someone was doing something shady with TM's.

Interesting...

what wasnt shap ? shap didnt reg sextube ?

I thought i made it very clear in the first post that the pornotube application and sextube inc were/are not shap.

The question was if it was merely coincidence that shap decided to trademark "sextube" 1 week after a company using the name sextube filed for an application for "pornotube"

Dont you find that a bit coincidental ?

I dont know a whole lot about trademark laws or filing but im pretty sure that when you file you must first research the trademark, so it could be as simple as shap was planning on trademarking sextube , his trademark lawyer noticed someone by the name of sextube was attempting to reg names using sextube and informed him he better file right away to protect sextube.

Or it could be an insider/lawyer trying to gank shap out of the name, the dates just seem to coincidental , upon looking thru the dropbox the "other" sextube used as an addy i notice a few trademark lawyers also use that addy, my first guess would be this "other" sextube aka blue titan media is a shell company a trademark lawyer setup to scoop trademarks before they are filed.

like if i was a trademark lawyer who helps people file trademark , when a client came to me , i could say " sorry cant take your case" then secretly quickly file the trademark behind their back to hold hostage

Ok, Stop Licking, His ass is slippery now :1orglaugh

i just ate an apple

fail. loooool
