Sleezeballs...

Sounds bad at first but after reading that article... they weren't using the TM in a meaninglful way, ie they weren't doing anything but advertising their own services... no info on the drug and they weren't even litigating the TM owner...

In finding bad faith, the Majority Panel noted that Hackard & Holt was not using the domain name incorporating Actelion’s trademark to provide information regarding any known deleterious effects of TRACLEER and was not conducting litigation against the manufacturer of TRACLEER. Instead, Hackard & Holt was using the trademark in “a subtle ploy to use [Actelion’s] mark to attract customers for other litigation.” Such use, according to the Majority Panel, was evidence of bad faith registration and use of a domain name. The Majority Panel ordered the domain name <tracleerinfo.com> be transferred to Actelion.
