    Actually, it seems the panelist did all the work. This has to be the shortest argument from the complainant and respondant, a total of 4 sentences (5. Party contentions). Score another correctly ruled decision.

    AS long as you don't use those "dictionary" names in a way that violates trademarks.. IE- Windows

    Actually, that's arguable. In her case, "visions" is a registered tm. She simply made use of it in the generic sense, or at any case different than that of the tm holder. One could most likely use windows.xx to advertise and sell glass enclosures.

    She took a big risk...

    One panelist
    No legal representation

    Could have gone the other way just as easily based on some recent rulings.

    Has the woman really won?

    She may have won the case but given that she was willing to sell for $100k at one point, the reality is that she'd rather have $100k than a neat domain to use to post family photos.

    Part of the reason she won is that she had the domain registered prior to the TM on the windows. Is there an investor that's going to want to ante up big bucks for the domain if they're concerned about Weather Shield coming after them?

    Just curious on your thoughts and if she's basically now stuck having the greatest family photo domain on earth?
