DNF$: 4,835 Location: Columbia, MD | Re: skype.co.il - Is this legal Ummm, making up a reason to use a domain name that infringes on a TM will not help you if challenged. Let's take your example.. "Sky Parachute Equipment", I get it, the only problem is you do not sell any parachute equipment at all. It is not even a real business. Next, look at the page, it is clearly a parking page and not one reference of parachute equipment at all. Third, you do make a reference to skype, you are admitting you know of the TM. Forth, you have links to Skype and VOIP... So if I was with skype, I know I would have a screen shot of this and then I would laugh when you try explaining you right to use the domain with the flimsy attempt to create a reason for using a TM as opposed to a valid reason.

Country: | Re: skype.co.il - Is this legal Does Skype hold an TM in Israel? If they do, the domain owner will have to handover the domain eventually. If they don't, it depends on the laws in Israel. |

As far as laws, there is no specific Cybersquatting law, however, the TM infraction laws, are basically the same as in US. As far as traffic goes, I wouldn't be surprised if they are actually getting a few type ins or more per day. I forgot to mention, the TM is later than the domain registration.

DNF$: 4,835 Location: Columbia, MD | Re: skype.co.il - Is this legal Please do not confuse with common law TM with registered Marks. Though Yahoo had no registered marks in Isreal, Thier TM is still prevelant world wide which is why they won. As far as cybersquatting laws, there is the ACPA (Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act) which amneds the Lanhan Act by adding title 43. Though it is a US law, if the registry is located in the US, then jurisdiction could be US regardless where the registrant may live. Now, it does seem this was registered in september 2003, but.... skype issued a beta press release in August 2003.... Are you sure the TM is after registration?

Also, skyp.com has been on UDRP recently so I would not be surprised to see you next in line. Now that you are warned govern yourself accordingly. To put it simply a disclaimer is not a protection or waiver.
