They have alot of paper. However, we have always felt we were serving a necessary market in our industry. I am glad to have possibly given hope to other small companies legitimately doing business to protect their rights to properly use trademarks in E Commerce. I thank my Attorney Kristan Burch, for Her hard work and the WIPO Panelists for for making this decision. To us, it was the only outcome possible, but you never know.

Thanks for another reference to an important file well worth saving for any of ours possible future reference & application.
