hye, just had this email lol:
I am an attorney with Madison Square Garden L.P. ("MSG"), owner of the above referenced trademark.
Your registration of the domain name LETSGORANGERS.COM (the “Website”) has come to our attention. The Website contains the phrase “Lets Go Rangers!” with a New York City street sign in the background, indicating a reference to the New York Rangers. (A print out of the Website is enclosed with the hard copy version of this Letter).
MSG own registrations in the United States, the U.K. and other countries for various “New York Rangers” trademarks (collectively “Rangers Trademarks”). The New York Rangers are often, in every day speech, referred to simply as the “Rangers” particularly in conversations about hockey. As a result of our long use and extensive promotion, the Rangers Trademarks are well-known among the public and are a source of inestimable goodwill to us.
Your registration and use of the domain name LETSGORANGERS.COM infringes our exclusive rights to the Rangers Trademarks and damages the associated goodwill. Such infringement is actionable pursuant to the ICANN domain name dispute policy, as well as under United States Federal and State law. Your registration and use of LETSGORANGERS.COM violates section 43 of the U.S. trademark law. In particular, we draw your attention to the Cyberpiracy provision, section 43(d), which provides statutory damages under certain circumstances for the bad-faith registration of domain names. The U.S. Trademark law also provides for the recovery of your profits and MSG’s actual damages.
We call upon you to immediately assign to us, at no fee, the domain name LETSGORANGERS.COM and to provide an undertaking not to register in the future any other domain names identical or confusingly similar to the Rangers Trademarks or to any other trademarks owned by Madison Square Garden.
We consider the matter urgent, and request your response within 3 days of the date of this letter.
Thank you for your attention to this matter and we look forward to hearing from you.
Very truly yours,
Stephanie A. Jacqueney
how dodgy?
