The defendants in the lawsuit say it is a frivilous lawsuit and it is a retaliation lawsuit for her career as a contract girl ending due to her age and lack of public demand for her services.

So this lawfirm is molding itself into retired pornstar ambulance chasers ?

So she is going after domain registrars, like Moniker, because they "profit" a whopping $.25 per domain that a random person registers which includes the phrase "Flower Tucci." That's a new one.

By the way Slav, jump on ICQ if you see this.

She is when she either loses her case or wins and gets so little it doesn't pay the legal fees. Then in a few years she'll be out of porn washed up and stripping at some club and sucking dick for $50.

I'm rooting for RK Netmedia on this one

Juilan 07-10-2009 02:35 PM

Frivilous lawsuit.

RK Netmedia, gather a lot of discovery a freaken lot, and rack up those billable hours for your attorneys cuz she'll be paying them in the end.

Wait wait she registered her trademark AFTER all the domains were created?

"That was registered on May 6, 2008"

While all the sites were created in 2007 ... good luck on that one

WiredGuy 07-10-2009 02:51 PM

So she's going after webmasters who are promoting her via RK Netmedia? Is she serious?

Like Slav mentioned though, it seems she's going after webmasters as FlowerTucci.com doesn't seem to be a defendent, just the webmasters linking to it. Huh? Am I reading this wrong?

The sequence does not matter if her lawyers can establish her previous public use of the trademark.

Still a Frivilous lawsuit.

Naming them as a party allows them to subpoena their records and conduct discovery in regards to domain ownership. It is actually a fairly standard tactic in trying to obtain the John Doe info.

when she reged it is not important
she has plenty of work to establish common rights TM

but the fact that she lied in her TM application might come in handy for defendants

squirtmaster 07-10-2009 05:38 PM

So... her REAL name is Flower Tucci?

hummph

They are, but not under the list of infringing sites which is where I'm confused.

not to go agaist the grain....but due to the "GFC" or recession for short....some very respectable and honorable companies may be in the reconsier mode about contacts.....its the whole kill or be killed mode....The old adage of they dont seem like the type....dont fly anymore as far as businesses go.

and her lawyer doesnt take cases that he amoust certainly cant win.....hes an LA guy....correct me if I am wrong but wasnt that the state that found a certian Orenthal James Simpson not guilty?

CA.....is a little off the richter scale....both literally and figuratively.
