Warning > DMG.com: Snapnames Auction

If you are participating in the above auction, I would strongly advice you to stop bidding immediately. I have inside information on a legal entity who will be snatching this domain from the winning bidder. They represent DMG Vertriebs Und Service GmbH, DMG Europe Holding GmbH and DMG Gildemeister.

DMG Gildmeister is the worldwide owner of the trademark DMG including all common law rights and the German and U.S. trademark registrations.

PM or email me for further information.

thanks for heads up but a legal entity cant just snatch a name
it would have to go to wipo
dmg can stand for many acronyms, if you have a plan for name, dont park and start developing out there should be no problems all things being fair, but then we are talking about the retards at wipo so..............

This entity will file the second the auction finishes. They will secure the domain and the winning bidder will lose his winning bid amount.
The auction may even close before the last hour.

But if you really want the domain, go ahead.

and why to you think they should get the domain? why should they win the wipo etc?
I would win auction, would but up a site called domain managment group - no parking page. and it would be really easy to defend.
best example how to defend

Looks like PriceWaterhouseCoopers got the name after all. Maybe they bought it?

Ok, those who are interested in the legal document I have, send me an email to biggs.immo@bluewin.ch and you can make you own mind up as to weather you would like to continue bidding - I'll email you the letter.

I am in the auction and will no longer bid bidding. I have also informed the current leading bidder and he will not be purchasing the domain either.

No more questions in this thread please. This was simply a warning to all participants. Take or leave.

Stuff is imho right and if done properly in the end they would have to pay if they wanted the domain. They are neither famous (I never heard of this company, only got confused with BMG which is music label) nor they can prove registered/used bad faith. Also without biased panelist there should be no finding of "no legitimate interests" as it is 3-letter acronym, nothing else.

Strange, why would this guy know all this hhhmmm ???

Still curious how YOU got this info and why you were in a situation to obtain it. I know ALOT of people getting screwed by guys going to end users for names they havent won. When that results in litigation/wipo/c&d/udrp etc you screwed snapnames out of money, bidders out of a name etc.

That would be an easy way for any of us to defend it, especially if the TM holder didn't participate in the auction.

I honestly think someone is trying to keep bidding low on the name / have fewer people bidding on it because they want the name.

So according to the Namepros thread, you essentially pulled the carpet from under the auction bidders by contacting a TM holder about a domain which you didn't own. Brilliant - NOT!
