In the early 90's I trademarked a name for my authentication company in sports memoriablilia

Some public company then registers my trademark for the same industry

They offered me 100K for the name I created

I told them it was not for sale and gave them a C&D

They refused to give me the name, so I told them they would be sued in the court they set up for trademark disputes in europe

I also told them once I sued them their stock would become worthless since they would be the first publicly traded company to have to DEFEND a cyber squatting case

There stock went from 250M to around 50M when news of my suit hit the media

hehe

They then offerred to give me back my name if i signed an agreement to not sue them

I told them to F off

They eventually let the domain lapse and I had to then register it

Now I'm suing them for all the emails i get from people about how they have a COA with my trademark on it that I didn't issue

There lawyer should be disbarred for telling them they could file on top of my trademark at the USPTO
