Wow, didn't see that!

I love it when names like this end up on ebay. You get to watch a bunch of fools register everthing under the sun with the word "invention" somewhere in it and put them up on ebay for thousands of dollars.

United States Patent and Trademark Office OG Notices: 23 March 2004

Notice of Suspension

Michael I. Kroll (Kroll), of Syosset, New York, is a patent
attorney whose registration number is 26,755. The Director of the
United States Patent and Trademark Office has ordered Kroll be
suspended for three years from practice before the United States
Patent and Trademark Office in patent, and non-patent law cases.
The suspension is for violating USPTO Disciplinary Rules ("DR")
10.36(a)(1)
(proscribing charging and collecting
a clearly excessive fee),
DR 10.23(c)(2)(ii)
(proscribing knowingly giving false or
misleading information to the USPTO)
and DR 10.85(a)(6)
(proscribing participation in the creation
of false evidence).
This action is taken
pursuant to the provisions of 35 U.S.C. 32, and 37 C.F.R. 10.156 and
10.159. The suspension will be stayed, so long as Respondent
complies with the terms of the settlement agreement entered into on
February 24, 2004. Those terms include refunding one-half of attorney
fees, in accordance with an agreed-upon payment schedule, collected
from 75 particular applicants for filing International Applications
under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT). Those terms also include
filing new Powers of Attorney to replace defective Powers of Attorney
in all pending PCT cases in which Kroll signed his clients' names on
the Power of Attorney forms. Upon any violation of any term of the
settlement agreement during the period of the payment schedule, the
stay will be vacated and Kroll, at that time, will serve a three year
suspension.

Intellectual Property and
Acting Director of the
United States Patent and Trademark Office

THE THREE YEAR SUSPENSION WAS STAYED!!

Might be the reason for selling.

Looking at the archive sites of invention.com

I see that William found out even more details.
Good going, William!!

Maybe, he needed to sell the domain for legal fees.
Or, he needed the money to live off of while he is suspended.

FINAL ORDER

Harry I. Moatz, Director of the Office of Enrollment and Discipline (OED Director), and Michael I. Kroll (Respondent), have submitted a settlement agreement in the above proceeding that meets the requirements of 37 C.F.R. § 10.133(g). Pursuant to that agreement, it is ORDERED that:

1. Respondent is suspended from practice before the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for a period of three years.

2. Respondent’s suspension will be stayed, and he will be permitted to continue to practice, so long as he complies with the agreed-upon terms of the agreement.

3. In the event that Respondent fails to comply with any of the terms of the agreement, the stay of suspension will be immediately vacated and Respondent shall serve a three year suspension, starting at the time the stay is vacated, prior to being eligible for reinstatement.

4. Before vacating the stay, the USPTO shall provide Respondent with an Order To Show Cause Why The Stay Should Not Be Vacated. The Order To Show Cause will give Respondent ten (10) days to show cause to the OED Director why the stay should not be vacated. The OED Director may then exercise his discretion to vacate the stay. Any review that might be available would not operate to postpone vacating of the stay during pendency of the review. Respondent shall be suspended and ineligible to practice during such review.

5. In considering a response to an Order To Show Cause, the OED Director will exercise his discretion with the understanding that Respondent should generally have a brief chance to cure any minor and unintentional breach of his obligations under the agreement.

6. Upon providing evidence of fulfilling all terms of this agreement, Respondent will no longer be suspended, and thus the need for any stay will no longer be required.

Apparently he was never suspended!!

Reserve met at 500k Might be a property.com contender.

 

[Steen]

Reserve met.

 

[NameYourself]

500k = 8 Years Revenue right now.

I believe this is only the beginning for generic names, as tight as restrictions will soon become with tm types of names. Generics are really the only high quality, no-maintenance ppc earners out there.

 

[Jeffreyw]

Wow, hopefully i could own a generic and popular generic .COM

Mr. Kroll still owns invention.net and invention.info; Ultimate Search (Hong Kong) owns the .org!

 

[financialtraffic]

Although I think it would be great if it did, I don't think the sale will close. Most high profile Ebay auctions end up attracting bidders who can't or won't pay.

 

[Focus]

yeah not sure about this zero feedback joker bidding on it...although it could be someone close to us with more money than gates, they are amongst us!..I think the sale will close fine if someone other than that zero feedback bidder wins it..it's a great name making a CHUNK every month..not a bad investment as long as PPC is alive in 10 years!

 

[mole]

as long as PPC is alive in 10 years!

PPC won't last the next 2 years at the rate of organized fraud it is attracting. :huh: Much more lucrative than spamming.
