    7-11 is sueing me - what should I do?

    It seems 7-11 doesnt like my site Dick Slurpee

    See AVN Article

    Plus it looks like the story even hit Bloomberg

    Any thoughts or suggestions on what I should do would be much appreciated

    I wonder what Larry would do in the same situation?

              I hate to say it but, on this one, I think you're going to have to suck it up.

                                          I know virtually nothing about US law, but as far as I'm aware... wouldn't they issue a C&D before taking out a lawsuit?...

                                          which means that a C&D, or several, have been ignored?

                                                  Brain Freeze is also a trademarked term of 7-Eleven

                                                                              Either way.....best of luck, hon

While you might enjoy some free press now, I would suggest releasing the domain name to them and enjoy the traffic that you got from it. If you allow this to go to trial, they won't just be looking for your domain, but punitive damages and legal fees to name a few.

                                                                                                  Either way man..bad move. The wording on your site (don't change it now..they copied it before sending the first c&d..they're not stupid) is going to make it nearly impossible to defend.

                                                                                                  And they'll claim damages to their trademarks and reputation.

                                                                                                              1) How much is the domain generating in revenue? Is it worth defending?

                                                                                                              2) The domainis registered in Nevada but where is the company? Is it a BS holding company or do you live off shore in the same country as said company?

                                                                                                                              Lets face it, who would have seen the site if this hadnt happened?

                                                                                                                              I think they may be doing a little attention whoring themselves.... maybe you could work with them from that angle

                                                                                                                                                  'Filed in federal court in Chicago, the lawsuit reportedly claims the site owner as Apmbill.com, a Las Vegas company whose Website touts it as a global billing solutions provider. The Dick Slurpee home page features a header logo that doesn't resemble the style of the 7-Eleven drink, but the lawsuit argues the site's use of the Slurpee name "is greatly and irreparably damaging," according to Bloomberg.'

                                                                                                                                                  They filed in FEDERAL court.

                                                                                                                                                  And they are ALREADY talking about DAMAGES.

                                                                                                                                                  I would drop that name very quick.

Let him or her contact/reply to them for you. 7-11 already has an army of lawyers that will chew you up and make a new flavor out of you.

                                                                                                                                                                              The publicity might be good in the shortrun....but, if they have a international trademark on the name, I'm not sure if you'll win the war.

                                                                                                                                                                              Either way.....best of luck, hon

                                                                                                                                                                              Anyways, many people have emailed me and shown me ways to get some serious publicity happening (if thats what I wanted to do)

                                                                                                                                                                              But then again I have to weigh that against the cost of defending this POS

                                                                                                                                                                              The main fact is that I didnt even know about this legal shyte unitl I read the AVN article. One of my staff rang me in Miami (when I met you) to say he had received an email about a spam an affiliate sent regarding 7-11, but I hadnt received any paperwork on it, so I didnt think any more of it - till now obviuosly

                                                                                                                                                                              Aggghhhh - Ya know, it makes you wonder whether having a US shelf company is worth the head aches

                                                                                                                                                                              It seems if you fart in the United States, some A-hole is going to sue you

                                                                                                                                                                              In the end, my only real beef is that this site wasnt getting much traffic, and just wasnt a big issue to me. But if 7-11 go hard on it, it just might be a bread winner. If only they had called me (or emailed me)
