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

maxxx69 03-04-2009 06:06 AM

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.

marketsmart 03-04-2009 07:07 AM

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..

GonZo 03-04-2009 07:07 AM

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.

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.

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

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

Serge Litehead 03-04-2009 11:23 AM

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?
