Microsoft says it has reclaimed more than 1,100 infringing domain names worldwide in the past six months. "We hope that our stance and activity on this issue will help motivate and empower other companies whose brands are abused to take action," the company said. Microsoft has conducted five new legal actions in the UK against companies alleged to have registered domain names infringing on Microsoft's trademark and other statutory and common-law rights. In addition it has reached a settlement with UK-based Dyslexic Domain Company Limited, which Microsoft alleged had registered more than 6,000 domains designed to divert users trying to access Microsoft domains. Microsoft has also settled two federal civil lawsuits filed in August 2006 against five named defendants who allegedly profited from domain names that infringed on Microsoft trademarks. |
