Hi People,
Microsoft is threatening to sue us over a domain name "windowssystemoptimizer.com". they had sent us a notice sometime back... to which i had my lawyer reply. now i get this letter again saying that i had better leave it or i get sued! We have been selling the software under this brand for ages now! and they have no rights over the name "Windows System Optimizer".
NEED HELP & ADVICE!
PLEASE HELP SPREAD THE WORD AROUND ... HELP US FIGHT MICROSOFT!
some facts:
Microsoft was infact very recently involved in a very similar case, involving another such domain name and software author who did not want to fight Microsoft and gave up the domain name and the assigned all rights of the same to Microsoft. Soon after which it started using the domain name and launched a product by the same name. http://www.theage.com.au/news/break...1578147096.html
By Microsoft's own standards they are using the trademark Vista which is owned by another software company in Redmond, and as such Microsoft says "We are only using the word Vista paired with our trademark Windows. The two together - "Windows Vista" - form the name of the next version of the Windows operating system," http://www.theage.com.au/news/break...1578147096.html
