August 16, 2009 by notdaveelms
The Las Vegas Sun, is reporting that Greg Ricks, known to most in the domain community, filed a suit last week in U.S. District Court for Nevada against a company who sent him a C & D letter on the domain DateCheck.com
DCAEV Inc., has a trademark on the term “Date Check” and owns “date-check.com“.
Date-check.com, promotes incall and outcall escorts services around the country.
Ricks registered the domain, DateCheck.com in 1999.
Ricks, DateCheck.com, is going to a landing page, but is not serving up any type of escort service or adult links.
The lawsuit says Ricks received correspondence last week from an attorney for DCAEV Inc. alleging “datecheck.com” infringes on DCAEV’s trademark rights and demanding Ricks stop using datecheck.com.
Ricks responded with a lawsuit, asserting the following:
a. The domain “datecheck.com” registration, predates DCAEV’s use of the “Date Check” trademark in connection with DCAEV’s escort service Web site.
