30 More Big Brand Fails: Bang On Trademarked Domains Continue To Drop To Third Parties

May 4, 2015 by Michael Berkens

This is another post in our continuing series of bang on trademarked domain names that drop and the continuing failure of brand holders to catch them on the drop allowing third parties to register them and control them.

All of these domains were owned by someone other than the trademark holder then dropped and could have been picked up by the trademark holder if they pursed the domain in the drop.

Instead of the trademark holder registering these domains when they dropped, third parties, picked up the domain names in the drop and almost all of them are going to a parked page except for several which are actually attempting to sell the product or trick people into downloading what is commonly referred to a malware

    Just FYI, “ugg” is a generic term and non-trademarkable in Australia and New Zealand. Look up “ugg boots” in wikipedia for more details. There are numerous “UGG” trademarks around the rest of the world however.

      Loved when the American mob tried to use their trademark in Australia to shut down Australian manufacturers from use of the word a few years back. Tried being the operative term.

    understood but since the TM is for boots and this footwear its bang to what they sell

    Oreos.com is the biggest brand fail I’ve seen lately. Was caught by DropCatch and sold for thousands
