Microsofts Typo-Patrol

[scorpio]

We are writing to inform you that Sedo has received notice through Microsofts Typo-Patrol of potential trademark infringement regarding the registration and use of the following domain names in conjunction with Sedo services. Microsoft created the MSN/Strider URL Tracer with Typo-Patrol to search for and record typo variations of domain names. A report containing such typo-domains based in Sedos marketplace was then submitted to Sedo.com. Your domain was included in Microsofts Typo-Patrol report. Accordingly, Sedo has no choice but to do the following at this time: ********.com

A friend of my got this email from sedo.

Since when has Microsoft become decision Maker for Sedo?....... :dead:

I received a similar email:

We are writing to inform you that Sedo has received notice from our advertising
provider that they will no longer be serving advertisements for the following
domains...

According to Google, Sedos advertising partner, the domain name(s) were the
subject of a legal complaint submitted by a third-party trademark holder in
compliance with Googles trademark complaint procedures.

Sedo has not received any complaints in regard the domain name(s) directly, but
due to the decision not to deliver advertisements to the affected domain
name(s), Sedo is forced to:

- Suspend the domain name from our domain marketplace
- Suspend the domain name from our parking program
