Dear Sir/Madam,

My department is currently contacting the webmasters of several internet websites to remind them of Games Workshop's intellectual property policy in relation to domain names.

Games Workshop does not permit the use of its trademarks by unauthorised third parties in the domain names of commercial websites. Your own URL \"warhammershop.net\" is therefore problematic and I invite you to contact me by return to discuss the possibility of transferring your domain name and replacing it with one which does not feature a Games Workshop trademark.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully,

Adam O'Brien

Dear Sir/Madam,

For seven years now I have been involved with community leader web site warhammer.net. As warhammer.net we have tried to create unique community for Warhammer fans and educate/inform them about all Warhammer/Games Workshop news. In times when Warhammer Fantasy seemed to be dead we kept it alive by creating Warhammer Encyclopedia, Warhammer Archives, by posting live news, articles etc. Today Warhammer is pretty much alive and we try to make it more popular then ever.
On Internet there are numerous shops offering warhammer products at outrageous prices and other unacceptable terms. I started WarhammerShop.net few months ago with a sole purpose of providing valid source for potential Warhammer shoppers. Warhammer shoppers there for have a chance to write reviews on every product, send us links to the shops world wide where they bought their Warhammer Books.
Only source of "profit" is links to Amazon.co.uk as part of their affiliate program. Only reason for this is to pay for our Networks (warhammer.net&warhammershop.net) huge bandwidth costs.

In your patent (no. 76359806) I saw a statement that drawing/word "Warhammer" can't be used for deceiving or in any other way misleading general public.
Even unaware of this patent we have informed every person who contacted us that we are not original publishers nor we are creators, so we directed them back to you.

As warhammer.net we are trying to be a non-profit medium between Original Warhammer content creators (Games Workshop, Black Industries and Mythic Entertainment ) and general public interested in Warhammer.

We are not willing to let all our efforts in promoting/developing WarhammerShop.net go in vain. So we are not willing to just simply drop "WarhammerShop.net" domain name.
If you still are interested in WarhammerShop.net please send us some other more acceptable offer.

Dear Vladimir,

Thank you for your email. Whilst I'll be happy to address each of your points in detail shortly, I hope that the following summarises the issues here.

"Warhammer" is a registered trademark of Games Workshop Limited. We do not allow third parties to use it in relation to commercial activity such as an online store.

The issue here is therefore not one of profit or disrespect for your hobby-building efforts but a reasonable exercise of our rights as a trademark owner over the use of the trademark which we own.

I will drop you a more detailed line in the near future to discuss how we may progress this matter to a mutually satisfactory resolution.

Yours sincerely,

Usput... patent:

Pa ti si u odlicnoj poziciji :)

Ok, ne dozvoljavate nikome ko nije autorizovan da koristi ime? Onda me autorizujte ;)

(naravno, ne ovim recima - ali pomeni i da postoji HUGE masa ljudi koji koriste tvoje sajtove i da im los publicitetd definitivno ne treba, ako moze da se napravi "mutually beneficial solution" ;)

Hint: Pitaj nq-a, on ima iskustva sa copyright issues. :D

Šalu na stranu, najbolje je da se nagodiš sa njima na neki način pozitivan za tebe, pošto je očigledno zbog čega su te kontaktirali, komercijalna upotreba njihovog imena. Pretpostavljam da prodaja domena ne dolazi u obzir, tako da neki dil sa njima može koristiti i tebi, i njima!

Citat:

Pravila kojima se ureduje upravljanje imenima Internet domena vrlo su liberalna, što odgovara otvorenom karakteru Mreže. Upravo ta osobina dovodi do sukoba sa titularima prava intelektualne svojine. Organi za registraciju imena domena primenjuju pravilo «Prvi u vremenu, jaci u pravu». Dakle, fizicko ili pravno lice koje prvo podnese zahtev za registraciju nadležnom organu i koje ispuni propisane formalne uslove, postace titular imena Internet domena. Zapravo, pravilo koje se primenjuje bi preciznije glasilo «Prvi u vremenu, jedini u pravu».

Ne bih se unapred radovao, moze da se desi da te tuze WIPO, pa da ti oduzmu domen.. Setite se price sa lux-ottica.com

Sta konkretno mislis kada kazes mikerowesoft.com? Mislis li da je on zadrzao svoj domen? Nije. Prvo je bilo reci da ga je Microsoft kontaktirao i ponudio da plati troskove registracije tj. $10 a on je trazio $10,000 :-). On je ako je verovati napravio deal sa Microsoftom pa je valjda dobio XBOX, posetu Redmond campu, pravo na Microsoft kurs itd. Samo sto on po meni uopste i nije morao da se brine o svom domenu posto je koristio svoje ime i prezime. Inace, taj primer sam spomenuo u jednom mom tekstu.

Zanimljiv je slucaj sa sajtom nissan.com vlasnika Uzi Nissan-a. On ima kompjutersku firmu i kompanija Nissan Motors Co. je trazila da mu preda domen. On je to naravno odbio i dobio je na sudu s tim da ima odredjena ogranicenja sa domenom u smislu da ne sme da spominje Nissan Motors Co. sto je normalno.

Pravna regulativa oko domena moze biti krajnje zamrsena i uopste nije tacno i tako jednostavno da ide po principu da pravo na domen ima onaj koji ga je prvi registrovao. To je tacno sto se tice same registracije koja ide po principu "first come, first served". Ali neka kompanija moze da optuzi nekog da je registrovao domen zbog losih namera kako oni kazu "bad faith" samo sto podnosenje tuzbe nije jeftino. Da bi se skupila 3 clana arbitrazne komisije treba da se plati $1500.

Preporucujem ti da pored sajta www.wipo.org posetis i sajt www.arb-forum.com
