I agree with Tim. I feel like thereâ€™s an even better analogy to make but I canâ€™t decide what.

Falcon – good response.
Who is Alias Encore?
They must be very desperate if they have to try steal someone else success and parade around as if they did it.

Its a sign of a very sneaky and unprofessional group.

if its an approved tm then squatters beware!
there is a lot wrong with uspto process but the same is true about other government processes.

The simple truth is plagiarism in any form is not legal. Secondly, ICANN enforces the dropping of Domains hence no legal action is required – if their board approves the claims being made is true.

Harboring criminals is against the law – this is true with any company knowingly allows fraudulent act is being performed under their protection.

The operative doctrine in trademark law is that of a term being “deceptively misdescriptive”.

To say that “free credit reports” is “descriptive” of the racket these people conduct, is to do violence to the word “free”.

It’s a scam intended to divert people from the free US government annual credit report program.

Tim –

I like your bank analogy:

“…like if you catch a bank robber your payment is they let you rob the bank yourself and keep the money”.

But, I would suggest the following refinement: that they do not let “you … keep the money”; but rather let you ‘collect interest’ on the money for a [6 month/fixed] period of time before returning it.

How can the government sanctioned FTC operate http://www.FreeCreditReport.gov while the government sanctioned USPTO grants Experian a trademark for “Free Credit Report”?

How can the government have it both ways?
