Thread: Common Scenario With Regard to Trademark Domains

Despite Michelin sending a warning letter to an India-based company about the registration of MyMichelin.com, the respondent did not react in any way. Therefore, Michelin commenced WIPO arbitration proceedings and won this trademark domain. See WIPO decision - MyMichelin.com

Unfortunately, the above is a very common scenario.

After receiving warning letters about such blatant trademark infringement, why don't such registrants simply transfer the domain and avoid arbitration proceedings? They simply don't care?

Or assume that distance may perhaps help them in some way to avoid losing the domain... foolishness at it's best!

Seems like a no brainer case.
