Flushing money down the toilet.
Michael Gleissner’s lawyers don’t seem to have a grasp on how UDRP works, and they continue to waste money filing and losing cases.
EKR Systems Limited, which lists Gleissner as director, filed a UDRP against the owner of mclip.com.
EKR’s lawyers at Morton & Associates falsely claimed in the original filing that the domain name owner didn’t acquire the domain name until 2014. When pressed by the panelist for more information, the lawyers said they made a mistake, and the owner actually registered the domain in 2010, but still after EKR claims trademark rights.
Morton & Associates based both of these dates on improper readings of DomainIQ historical whois record, and panelist Luca Barbero called them out on it.
The lawyer’s proof that the current owner didn’t get the domain name until November 14, 2010, is that DomainIQ has a record showing the current owner on that date. But as Barbero pointed out, that doesn’t mean that he didn’t own the domain before that date.
Indeed, DomainTools records show that the owner has had the domain name since at least mid-2009.
But 2009 vs. 2010 didn’t ultimately matter. The panelist pointed out that there was scant evidence that the mclip mark was well known at the time and that the domain registrant had the complainant in mind when it registered the domain. It’s also a short mark with lots of users and acronyms.
Despite no response from the domain name owner, the panelist ruled that EKR failed to prove that the domain name was registered and used in bad faith.
Good news.
Kudos to Mr. Barbero for seeing right through their scam.
Mr. Notarnicola’s Tumblr. Deep thoughts.

“”Michael Gleissner’s lawyers don’t seem to have a grasp on how UDRP works, and they continue to waste money filing and losing cases.””
…then again, maybe they do have a grasp, and as long as he wants to pay them to file pointless UDRPs, they’ll just keep cashing his checks!!!
LOL…He should have taken that $1,500 filing fee for all those UDRP’s and bought a couple nice domains.
Just a thought.
We need mainsteam media from a law journal, some sort of article on ethics, the tm’s out of pakistan or wherever, this is a total abuse of such processes
Well according to my information atleast two of the owners who successfully defended the cases of UDRP against Michael Gleissner are Pakistanis.
I am a part of one team who defended one case against Michael Gleissner’s phony company and won fair and square and I am a Pakistani too.
According to my information tms out of Pakistan are not used so far to file any UDRP cases.
Some people really think that Pakistan is a third world country of crooks and nothing else, but that is not the case actually.
Many active and successful domainers belong from Pakistan.
. I felt a little bit of generalization in your comment and that is why i am replying in this manner.
Pkrev, I believe Ryan mentioned Pakistan because Gleissner’s companies are filing trademarks there.
Mr. Gleissner was last seen in Cebu, the Philippines
A colorful character, Mr. Gleissner, although his complexion may be a bit sallow or wan these days.
Follow the money, and ye may find.
Pursue at your own risk
The lawyers in Singapore may provide you with a map.
From Notarnicola’s tumblr:
“It’s that time when, after everything is lost but pretending not to have touched the bottom yet, you become a walking (un)dead, a zombie, autopiloting yourself down a cliff.”
Yep.
If anyone can provide information regarding the location and contact information of Mr. Gleissner,, if indeed he is alive, this would be greatly appreciated.
Our efforts to locate Mr. Gleissner have not been productive.
We are aware there has been much appropriation, seizure, imprisonments and killings of persons located within the area, Cebu, where Mr. Gleissner founded a motion picture studio and film school, namely, Big Foot Entertainment and Film School.
We also are aware Mr. Gleissner is/was a friend of the local mayor, as well as a big supporter of the local law enforcement authorities there. .
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Gleissner has been vacationing in Italy.
He’s suing an airlines for $100,000 for cancelling his flight to Hong Kong three days prior to the flight, and claiming he’s suffered from “acute anxiety”, and lost time while speaking on the phone with customer service..
I met a friend of Mr. Gleissner once. According to the young fellow, Gleissner wants to buy as many domains as possible because he likes to sell them for a “higher” price on day. Most of his companies a phony shell companies. He likes to buy real estate as well and uses them as his business addresses, even though they are empty/not occupied. Scambag
