subject: facekobo.com - Notice of Facebook Trademark Infringement [Case #421430]
To Whom It May Concern:

We write regarding your registration and use of the domain name facekobo.com, which contains the famous Facebook trademark.

As you know, Facebook is the leading online social network, available at www.facebook.com and on mobile devices. Facebook has used the Facebook trademark in connection with its social networking services since 2004. The Facebook trademark is registered in the United States and internationally, and is one of the most famous trademarks on the Internet. As we hope you can appreciate, protection of its trademarks is very important to Facebook.

We were concerned when we learned of your registration and use of facekobo.com. Specifically, your unauthorized use of the Facebook name is likely to cause confusion as to whether you or your company’s activities are authorized, endorsed, or sponsored by Facebook when, in fact, they are not. While Facebook respects your right of expression and your desire to conduct business on the Internet, Facebook must enforce its own rights in order to protect its valuable and famous trademark.

We recognize that you may not be aware of the laws that apply to trademarks and domain names. Registration and use of domains can violate the Lanham Act (15 U.S.C. 1051 and the following sections) if they infringe or are likely to dilute a trademark. Infringement occurs when a third party’s use of a company’s trademark (or a confusingly similar variation thereof) is likely to confuse consumers as to the affiliation, sponsorship or endorsement of the third party’s services. Trademark dilution occurs when a third party’s use of a variation of a company’s trademark is likely to lessen the distinctiveness of the company’s famous trademark. Registration and use of a domain name containing another’s trademark can also violate the Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act, and may be subject to transfer under the Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy.

As a responsible trademark owner, where necessary we have filed proceedings in the relevant courts and also before the United Nation's World Intellectual Property Organization's arbitration panel to prevent the unauthorized use of our trademarks in domains. In these proceedings, the Facebook trademark has been found to be famous and to be entitled to broad protection.

To avoid consumer confusion and harm to the Facebook brand, we must insist that you stop using the name and domain facekobo.com and disable any site available at that address. You should not sell, offer to sell, or transfer the domain name to a third party and should let the domain registration expire.

You are of course welcome to explain on a replacement website that your product works with the Facebook Platform, or relates to the Facebook service, so long as that statement is fair and accurate, and does not falsely suggest that Facebook endorses you or your product. For more information on how to properly refer to Facebook, please visit our brand resource center at www.facebookbrand.com. For specific guidelines for developers, see https://developers.facebook.com/docs/guides/policy/examples_and_explanations/branding/.

Please confirm in writing that you will agree to resolve this matter as requested. We appreciate your cooperation.

Sincerely,

Facebook actually made attempts to shut down Facekobo.com last year through a request to my host, but they got a shocker their lobbyist law that allows a big company to swallow new startups does not apply to my host country. If I had bought my domain in USA or was hosting in USA, I would have been taken out without notice. It is for reasons like this that one appreciates countries like Russia, China and Iran countries the United states can not bully into submission.

My question therefore is why hasn't Facebook shut down Facekoob.ir which is Iranian social network built like Facebook in its colors?? Is it because Americanas are afraid of Iran?

Facebook Claims Infringement Over Nigerian Site Facekobo.com [case #486923]

For the 2nd time in less than a year Facebook is attempting to bulldoze me from fear of competition, FaceKobo was formed with our local KOBO, unit of Naira. Initially Facebook had claimed that I built Facekobo like Facebook, adopting its colors, since that didn't fly, they are coming for the name, the first thing that comes to my mind is 'who the hell do they think they are'...??......While contacted Nigerian lawyers home and abroad were easily intimidated by the name FACEBOOK, my Jewish lawyer asked me to ignore their rant...saying "Facebook knows what to do" if they consider me a threat, back then Facekobo was ranked 1.4 million today at 260,000 they R back...........what do you advise?

To Whom It May Concern,

We are writing concerning your registration and use of the domain name [url]facekobo.com[/url], which contains the famous Facebook trademark.

As you undoubtedly know, Facebook is the leading online social network service. Facebook adopted the name and trademark Facebook in February 2004 and, since that time, Facebook has actively used the Facebook name and trademark in connection with its online social network service, including maintaining the web site www.Facebook.com. The term Facebook is one of the most famous trademarks on the Internet. Facebook owns exclusive trademark rights to the Facebook name as a result of numerous trademark registrations in the United States and internationally, as well as related common law rights. Accordingly, Facebook enjoys broad trademark rights in its name.

Facebook has made a substantial investment in developing and providing its services. As a result of Facebook’s pioneering efforts and devoting substantial effort and resources to providing only high quality services, the Facebook name and trademarks are widely known among the consuming public worldwide, and the name and trademarks embody substantial and valuable goodwill.

Accordingly, we were concerned when we learned of your registration and use of facekobo.com. As we hope you can appreciate, protection of its trademarks is very important to Facebook. Your registration and use of facekobo.com violates the Lanham Act (15 U.S.C. 1051 et seq.) because it infringes and dilutes the famous Facebook trademark.

Infringement occurs when a third party’s use of a company’s trademark (or a confusingly similar variation thereof) is likely to confuse consumers as to the affiliation, sponsorship or endorsement of the third party’s services. Trademark dilution occurs when a third party’s use of a variation of a company’s trademark is likely to lessen the distinctiveness of the company’s famous trademark.

We have filed several proceedings before the United Nation's World Intellectual Property Organization's arbitration panel. Facebook has prevailed in each case and the domain names at issue were all ordered to be transferred to Facebook. Facebook is concerned that your unauthorized use of the Facebook name may cause confusion as to whether you or your company’s activities are authorized, endorsed or sponsored by Facebook when, in fact, they are not.

We understand that you may have registered facekobo.com without full knowledge of the law in this area. However, Facebook is concerned about your use of the Facebook trademark in your domain name. As you may know, the Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act provides for serious penalties (up to $100,000 per domain name) against persons who, without authorization, use, sell, or offer for sale a domain name that infringes another’s trademark.

While Facebook respects your right of expression and your desire to conduct business on the Internet, Facebook must enforce its own rights in order to protect its valuable and famous trademark. For these reasons, and to avoid consumer confusion, Facebook must insist that you immediately stop using facekobo.com and disable any site available at that address. You should not sell, offer to sell, or transfer the domain name to a third party and should let the domain registration expire.

Please confirm in writing that you will agree to resolve this matter as requested. If we do not receive confirmation from you that you will comply with our request, we will have no choice but to pursue all available remedies against you.

Sincerely,

Ethel

Na sh*t dem dey take grammar cover like this? which one be "Defecation"?....the sh*t must be very hot

E be like say the guy dey happy say dem kill him papi for am to be King!

The foolish rev must die........the Igbo group should be worried about getting a Biafra where muderers and criminals like their leader would be set free.

This is good for both sides. We need more schools to do this....that way students and parents can decide early if higher education is for them. The affected students can also quickly change to their field and make better of their lives rather than waiting extended yrs to make today's choice.

Nigerians are gullible sha...so u guys are taking Ubah serious??.....kai!
He should go and develop his Biafra!...Nigeria does not need a 419er who made money on the backs of suffering Nigerians with fuel subsidy scam.

NaijaPolice una see una life? do well una no hear ntor!...the world don know una finish. Dem don open una nash for twitter.

This is what I don't understand, what is N8,000,000 to Psquare to warrant this embarrassment?....why didnt they quietly refund the money?

Committing 18th century crime in today's digital world, even if the devil had tempted them couldn't they have told the devil they would be caught?
Something must be wrong with our educational system how did these dafts gain admission into EBSU??

This man na mumu sha....wetin e don do self wen e dey make noise?....abeg carry-go.
Yeye.............Ngozi no do pass am??...Iya world blank! no be corruption board she head under uncle Jona!.........Buhari should fire this man ASAP.
what he said is a precursor of what to expect from him going forward. We have been here before with 'Iya world blank'.

Sometimes I wonder how some lost their senses! Person go artificial abroad return with artificial brain!

This is dumb, is the govt paying school fees for the students?
Why not Japanese? I would prefer Japanese if we wanna master their technology....Nigeria is not a serious country. we have leaders who do not think and consult before saying anything.
Even if they should speak foreign language, it should be optional and one from the list: French, Chinese, Japanese, Malay, Arabic, Russian, German, Italian.

Lagos state govt can ban parties @ public schools, but has no right to tell private investors how to use their facilities to raise necessary funds required to pay back bank loans. This is what happens when a govt runs out of ideas - dumb from Ambode.

Another Naija invention!...true creativity.
If govt fail to award oil bloc to you, create your own.

To start with she does not speak for Nigerian women.....her husband should be probe to return his loot so that women can get funds for investment. Wasn't Ngozi Iweala a Nigerian woman? what did she bring other than corruption and shame! Our women need funds to run their businesses..............period.

Lol I no trust this man ooooo!....Nigeria sha...! runs ppl full this country..........abeg inspect the cops!....shake the dead body well...well. because this man if dey one village they enjoy.

1. Govt should ensure that the body is truly Alams.
2. The place he is to be buried should be inspected for underground gateway.
3. The site should be guarded for 10 days after burial. because they can still dig him out alive!

Menh!...I dey read dey laugh....as you call spirit....I fall for ground!.......your brain no get brakes.

Be brave, keep your baby!.....pickin scarce for that side ooo...if na lie ask Ini Edo.
You are one of the few lucky ladies!...I bet Ini Edo is wishing she was pregnant at 21!... Pick up your life from where you left it and be more determined for your baby. That guy is not deserving of you............period.

Why you should not abort!
1. It could lead to your untimely death.
2. It could lead to internal complications which could prevent you from having a child in future.
3. It could lead to continuous internal pains so discomforting you would wish you had died, these pains would make you age over night.

Advantages:
1. Have you baby...and your beauty will blossom.
2. Your baby will put smiles on your face.
3. Baby love is the best love....ask anyone that has gone through the process.
4. Raise your baby well and society will envy you.

If that guy tells your otherwise, tell him "Go To Hell".
