    FumbleUPorn being sued?!

    Hi there, I just received this email...


    I am writing on behalf of StumbleUpon, Inc. concerning your business and web site on the domain fumbleuporn.com. Your business and web site is using the registered name and (nearly identical) registered logo of StumbleUpon, Inc. creating confusion as to an possible association with StumbleUpon and tarnishing StumbleUpon's business and goodwill associated with its intellectual property. These actions infringe trademarks held in the United States and in territories throughout the world by StumbleUpon, Inc.

    In addition, StumbleUpon owns a patent in the United States on the Method and System for Single-Action Personalized Recommendation and Display of Internet content, that is the essence of StumbleUpon. Your business and web site appears to be using the same or similar functionality which may infringe the StumbleUpon patent.

    We hereby demand that you immediately remove and disable the fumbleuporn.com web site, immediately cease and desist from using the fumbleuporn name and logo, and terminate the use of the similar technology and process to the StumbleUpon patent.

    Please report back to me by Monday, October 22 to inform how you have complied with these requests. StumbleUpon treats violation of its intellectual rights as a serious issue and intends to pursue all available rights and remedies.

    Your business and web site appears to be using the same or similar functionality SOOOOO.... I develop the site with my OWN hands! and WTF with "similar"??


    Your business and web site is using the registered name and (nearly identical) registered logo OK. what about youporn, youjizz, etc? did they got sued for that?
    The only word similar in the domain is "umble"... and about the logo well its just a wtf...

    Im new in this business and I will appreciate your help about what to do...

    Thanks

              How big is your wallet? Right or wrong, legal battles are expensive.
              Personally I have just shut down my sites when I start getting threatened over trademark issues from absolute vodka, Godzilla rights holders etc, but they have never been my main business.

                  See and call

                  Not legal advice but a bit of general interest from a WIPO judgement we won;

                  the burden of proof lies with the Complainant to show each of the following three elements:

                  (i) the Domain Name is identical or confusingly similar to a trademark or service mark in which the Complainant has rights; and

                  (ii) the Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the Domain Name; and

                  (iii) the Domain Name has been registered and is being used by the Respondent in bad faith.
                  Then send them the picture of your cock ... entitle it "blow me".

                          Call their bluff, lawyer up, or hand it over. Only real options you have.

                            They own a patent in the US and you are located where?

                            I'd change the logo to a different colour / shape and ignore the email.

                                        Post the headers of the email. Because that looks like a crock of shit. If it isn't, and it's a legit email, someone here probably narced you out, because I can't see them stumbling upon (see what I did there?) your site by accident.

                                            You have to be inbred, mentally handicapped, and illiterate to confuse fumbleuporn with StumbleUpon. Oh, wait - this is the internet - and your intentions weren't pure.

                                            Just give it up.

                                                      I'm not a lawyer and not intelligent so take this with a grain of salt if I were you:

                                                      I personally would evaluate how much money I make monthly from the site. If it's less than $1-2k I'd not fight it and just shut it down. Find something else to work on.

                                                      If your intentions were to mimic their site then they have no choice but to pursue to protect their trademark. That's how it works. Just my opinion. Wouldn't be worth losing $$ and time over if it's not successful imo.

                                                          What I find funny, is they asked me to contact them, but did not leave any contact phone number or email....
