The UDRP isn't just a similarity test. Bad faith requires strong evidence that the respondent registered the domain because of the complainant's mark. Where the disputed name is coherent and independently attractive, panels should be cautious about inferring targeting from phonetic resemblance alone, especially if the complainant's mark isn't globally famous and the respondent is outside the complainant's home market.

It's mind-boggling that Panelist David L. Kreider accepted the Complainant’s claim that caresoft is confusingly similar to CARAHSOFT, calling it a “classic typosquatting” case and that the Telstra doctrine applied to the case.
There are 97 active businesses using “Caresoft” in their names!

Leaders in the generative AI world are daring to say the unsayable: that copyright is not sacrosanct
For the last hundred years or so, the prevailing dogma has been that copyright is an unalloyed good, and that more of it is better. Whether that was ever true is one question, but it is certainly not the case since we entered the digital era, for reasons explained at length in Walled Culture the book (free digital versions available). Despite that fact, recent attempts to halt the constant […]

"Flock Safety loves to crow about the thousands of local law enforcement agencies around the United States that have adopted its avian-themed automated license plate readers (ALPRs). But when a privacy activist launched a website to map out the exact locations of these pole-mounted devices, the company tried to clip his wings.
The company sent DeFlock.me and its creator Will Freeman a cease-and-desist letter, claiming that the project dilutes its trademark. Suffice it to say, and to lean into ornithological wordplay, the letter is birdcage liner.
Representing Freeman, EFF sent Flock Safety a letter rejecting the demand, pointing out that the grassroots project is well within its First Amendment rights."

Trump reveals he made $300,000 selling Bibles and has big cryptocurrency stash
Financial disclosure shows presidential nominee owes $500m in #civil #penalties but sheds little light on #solvency
Donald Trump made hundred of thousands from his branded #Bible and millions from his #properties
– but also owes millions for #defamation and #fraud cases, according to his latest financial disclosures that shed little light on the perennial question of whether the Republican presidential nominee is, in fact, solvent.Voluminous disclosure documents to the US Office of Government Ethics to comply with election campaign laws show that,
in addition to Trump’s US real estate holdings,
he has global financial interests, including registered #trademarks in China, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Ukraine and Israel.He also owns millions in #cryptocurrency and has a six-figure investment in #gold #bars.
But the disclosures also hint at Trump’s substantial personal outgoings,
👉including more than $500m owed to both the writer E Jean Carroll and the New York attorney general -- resulting from civil judgments involving defamation and accounting fraud.👈Both judgments
– $83m to Carroll and
– $454m to New York state
– are subject to bonds while Trump appeals the decisions,
a process that could take years.Trump’s #MarALago home and private club in Florida, which formed part of a case against the Trump Organization involving #inflated asset #valuations,
produced about $57m in income from the club, down about $8m from a previous disclosure.The disclosures are not a profit-and-loss balance sheet
– they only give broad ranges of income and assets
– so alone they cannot determine whether Trump is in the red or the black.He has consistently resisted efforts to force the release of his tax returns,
although two years ago a Democrat-controlled Congress released six years of Trump’s tax returns,
dating to 2015, the year he announced his presidential bid. -
