    My snap-domain needs to be renewed soon and I would not want to keep it if this will cost me a fortune for a lawyer.
    I guess you have to ask yourself why you would ever build any kind of business on a trademarked name?

    Cut your losses and move on.

      So, Joe Lycett (UK Comedian) got annoyed with Hugo Boss, so he legally changed his name to Hugo Boss, and ran around causing all sorts of mischief.

      So, LEGALLY change your name. 1st name "Snap' Surname 'Snapchat" So you are now LEGALLY called Mr Snap Snapchat. From this point on, you are no longer using their IP. You are using your LEGAL NAME...

      You win / They lose. Simples...

        You need to understand a day in the life of an attorney working on things like these. They have a big list of infringement or possible infringement that may be damaging to their clients brand and their job is to MAKE IT GO AWAY. They are not going over their cases and wondering how much they can sue you for. They truly want to cross your name off the list and move on to the next one.

        Your easiest/cheapest option here is to avoid the legal system completely. It's a shit show if you start down that path and even if you win you've lost.

            I hope he retains the name, this would be a good precedent for other "snap" domains

              I would let it drop

              If it is generating revenue I would have moved all the traffic to a different domain already

                  Stan changed SnapCentro to FanCentro, ask him, or just follow suit and change your name.
