Cybersquatting

Reuters reports on the increased number of cybersquatting cases. This is not terribly surprising in these economic times because many people will be looking for a way to make some quick, relatively easy money. The big problem for those people looking to make a quick buck is that most cybersquatting cases where a genuine, famous trademark is being used by someone else make sure there is no unacceptable use or purpose to the website and are quick to award the trademark owner what they deserve.
