Carlsbad Takes Legal Action Over Golf Course Domain
July 11, No Comments - Author: Simon JohnsonA lawsuit filed in the federal court in San Diego claims that Prince Reza Shah hijacked and unlawfully profited from the domain name thecrossingsatcarlsbad.com.
SignOnSanDiego reports “according to a domain registration site, Shah owns more than 280 names, some of which are for sale. Among the domain names are “tiger-woods.mobi” and “trump-golf.mobi.”
Apparently the city held a contest in 2006 to name the golf course and announced the name on Oct. 18, 2006. Shah applied for the trademark on Nov. 30, 2006.
