I agree with huh 100 percent. Google prevailed over Rosetta Stone. So what’s the big deal? Stealing is something you can’t be proud of so you might as well not broadcast it. However, RS legal team needs to do their homework to avoid further humiliation especially when you arrest people for piracy only to find out you have criminals lurking in your own backyard.

where did you expect to see it mentioned? in rosetta’s 10q/10k? a company press release?

what does this have to do with rosetta’s business, or with trademarks, or with domain names?

does mclean have a town gossip website? mclean-gossip.com is available!

I was just curious, so how did Rosetta Stone settle the petty larceny case on one of the Board of Director’s mother after her shoplifting arrest at a Safeway store in Mclean last year? The incident was published in The Mclean Ear last September. The hearing for this theft crime was February 1st and Rosetta Stone made no mention of it. It makes you wonder if there’s cover up going on.

“We know longer disable ads…”

Looks like Google should be sued for not proofreading!

“…or is it because they just want to take our domains?”

I’ve said this many times before.

A ton of dictionary words are trademarked.

Every 2 and 3 letter combo is trademarked as well as most phrases and saying used in language for decades.

Read our comments to ICANN for more examples:

disappointed … upon reading the headline I thought that a bunch of Egyptians had traveled through time to sue Google!

The term “Rosetta Stone” has been synonymous with language translation long before Rosetta Stone Inc even existed…they did not create this “brand”, but instead “borrowed” it from the public domain (being generous here). What’s next…trademarking “language software” or dictionary?

It should not be possible to trademark a generic or historic term or place-name.

There you go! More evidence of what is really going on.

They are after our domains……coordinated effort going on many, many years designed to take the domains.

It’s about the domains and always has been. It’s where the sweet brands and the sweet, free traffic lie if they can steal them…….legally or not.

The first one AIG, there’s a highly respectable company and as a taxpayer I love supporting it to the tune of $185 Billion, (so far) so they can turn around and attack me.
