Domain and Trademarks - The Rich Jerk sues owner of richjerkscams.com

By: The Reviewer480

Why? Because this simple site ranked Nr.1 one in the search engines for the term the rich jerk. The Rich Jerk himself, sent a letter saying that he can’t use his Rich Jerk trademark in the website.
The domain www.richjerkscams.com contains the famous "Rich Jerk" trademark. Which means that the owner of the site in question, would have to pay up to $100,000 fee if he would continue to use the website.
Kelly Felix owns CreditPro, Inc.(CPI) which adopted the Rich Jerk term in June 2005. The term is used to sell the informational products, which contain information on making money on the internet.
There are also two websites containing the Rich Jerk trademark.
www.therichjerk.com and www.richjerk.com
Since Kelly Felix has enough money to effort a good bunch of lawyers the only easy way out of this was to transfer to another domain name.
So always watch out for trademark terms if you register a new domain name!
