Toyota doesn't like our Teen Lexus! (pic)
We recently received a letter from Toyota concerning our lexusxxx.com domain. They felt that our girl, Lexus was similarly confusing to the consumer to their line of vehicles. Yeah, Lexus is her real name, check out the tattoo in the pic below!
http://www.4realcash.com/graphics/boards/lexus.jpg While we know that it would be pretty hard to confuse a girl with a car, we didn?t want to waist the time trying to fight them, plus we would probably lose, so we have moved Lexus from lexusxxx.com over to 4realteen.com. Since all affiliates are linking through our affiliate software at 4realcash.com you will not have to make any changes at all. All your traffic that was going to her site is still going to her site, now just at a new URL. Oh yeah, Happy Holidays!! |
well she has a tat with the name. Must be enough!
|
she gets my approval
|
Don't matter what you call her...she's fucking hot!
|
Lexus is actually a fairly popular name. I would guess the name Lexus was being used before they took it up.
|
Yeah, I think it was around '90 that they got the trademark
|
I'd ride that lexus!:thumbsup
|
Fuck Toyota!
Good luck to you guys. Smart to focus on your business... |
You should mortgage the company and everything, and keep that domain.
|
No kidding! Lexus is even in baby name books. Its Greek - short for Alexis.
Thanks for the support guys. While we think it's a raw deal, we would rather spend our time working on our sites than fighting a huge corporation! We are growing good, but we aren't quite a big as Toyota! :winkwink: |
so if my name was Lexus, I couldn't have a site named LexusBlog.com or anything like it?
|
Wow their legal department must have a lot of free time this holiday season!
|
fuck that, fight it, her real name is Lexus, so they have no grounds, and the "you might confuse consumers with our vehicles" fuck thatttttt, they are trying to bully you, fight it, fuck them fuck them hard...
|
I'd hit both of them ;)
|
Damn! I feel like riding both stuff! :thumbsup
|
ill ride on lexus
|
Don't back down, that's stupid...
Get a lawyer and fight it, you could get some sales out of it maybe if you spin it the right way. |
Sucks that happened. Why do you think you'd lose?
I can't see the confusion here :2 cents: |
think back to 05, Mike Rowe, Soft.

I just don't think it's worth our time, even if we were to win, I'd still just spend a lot of time dealing with that rather than building our business.

Yeah, as far as the domain goes, I can understand that, many Lexus dealers are somethinglexus.com or lexussomething.com replace the something with their dealership name.
What I found funny was that they want us to call her another name, and I got a list of acceptable names. I told them that I didn't think I could talk her into changing her tattoo though...LOL |
Nice picture man
