3 \- [$ O4 ?5 ?  mWe are writing concerning your registration and use of the domain name
: S7 t/ x9 X0 _. {; ]! O) p- @*******.com which contains the famous eBay trademark.
( b% R! c9 t3 W. @$ i: P
As you undoubtedly know, eBay is the leading provider of online
0 n. f3 R, e# eperson-to-person trading services and related goods and services. eBay
' a4 l; H4 e/ `! ~8 r& ?- A" [7 V) j7 t' {adopted the name and trademark eBay in September 1995 and, since that
time, eBay has actively used the eBay name and trademark in connection
/ p" L( I/ |3 L! Ywith its online trading and related services, including maintaining the
web site www.eBay.com. The coined term eBay is one of the most famous
/ g( C8 w9 f& X* f* `trademarks on the Internet.  eBay owns exclusive trademark rights to the
eBay name in the United States and internationally, including related
common law rights. Accordingly, eBay enjoys broad trademark rights in
its name.

9 |4 u: g, i) g5 y: @4 t: heBay has made a substantial investment in developing and providing its
services. As a result of eBay's pioneering efforts and devoting
substantial effort and resources to providing only high quality
/ ~% e- H/ t7 u( L) a# Lservices, the eBay name and trademarks are widely known among the
" _6 Y3 {0 A$ {* V2 N- s1 _: q" Z* y1 j( {consuming public worldwide, and the name and trademarks embody
substantial and valuable goodwill.
; p" s5 S4 c9 i, x
. s5 H" e2 c4 DAccordingly, we were concerned when we learned of your registration and
; k0 n1 [7 v9 \# huse of*********.com. As we hope you can appreciate, protection of
4 i3 ]6 `6 h& h5 ]# R/ G. ?its trademarks is very important to eBay. Your registration and use of
www.******com violates the Lanham Act (15 U.S.C. 1051 et seq.)
2 U0 e8 }# s7 g5 Sbecause it infringes and dilutes the famous eBay trademark.  
8 n/ c( n' K8 e% S/ r
: O/ F( ]5 o0 l- s& `; {Infringement occurs when a third party's use of a company's trademark
* \" B9 O( Z' e(or a confusingly similar variation thereof) is likely to confuse
consumers as to the affiliation, sponsorship or endorsement of the third
/ ^) C  S& M: o4 p7 c% Z8 o1 tparty's services.  Trademark dilution occurs when a third party's use of
' Y2 o6 l/ H, B3 oa variation of a company's trademark is likely to lessen the
distinctiveness of the company's famous trademark.
9 F# l2 `. P% `/ d, b8 h' i  F. R8 @
! M1 r: J  z) T; [2 G+ d( ~. wWe have filed several successful federal court actions in the United
0 O/ J$ V9 `7 \" N: z2 lStates against companies and individuals employing the famous eBay
; Z" H3 D9 Z, x0 {trademark in their domain names, as well as more than six proceedings
5 f$ z  A/ B& f: o: n1 ~before the United Nation's World Intellectual Property Organization's
- u0 r$ y5 {1 l2 Barbitration panel. eBay has prevailed in each case and the domain names
- R$ ^( L+ Y7 |* pat issue were all ordered to be transferred to eBay.  

In addition to the above, the United States Patent and Trademark Office
, F& u: A+ H# E- N8 X& m5 b  Z("USPTO") has recently denied registration of the mark "ebaysecurities"
by a third party. Like your domain name,  "ebaysecurities" incorporated
the entire eBay trademark, adding only a generic term to eBay's famous
9 \; a. S: ~8 N/ \3 omark. The USPTO recognized that eBay is a famous trademark and therefore
1 P! v; B+ U! Hdenied registration of ebaysecurities. eBay is concerned that your
7 }8 F  [/ [, a. W# J% A) eunauthorized use of the eBay name may cause confusion as to whether you
5 A  g/ U/ s' Z4 t5 Bor your company's activities are authorized, endorsed or sponsored by
; _3 _% m- a6 z* T5 AeBay when, in fact, they are not.  
% f7 x# S* \. p5 o2 z) K1 |
We understand that you may have registered www.****-****.com without
: I/ x7 P% U% A: L% w2 X3 Y* S( Vfull knowledge of the law in this area. However, eBay is concerned about
2 I: u( E; c3 I/ O$ E% Gyour use of the eBay trademark in your domain name.  As you may know,
' B2 u! C7 x$ y8 o/ E% E' Gthe Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act
3 C6 f- F. X* n, V6 X) ^; H(http://www.submerged-ideas.com/litigation/anticybersquat.htm) 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
0 _& |. s/ r% f- r% \7 Dthat infringes another's trademark.
& `8 R7 M7 o# b  ?
While eBay respects your right of expression and your desire to conduct
business on the Internet, eBay must enforce its own rights in order to
, V5 W/ k9 B/ ?( H1 s( e- iprotect its valuable and famous trademark. For these reasons, and to
avoid consumer confusion, eBay must insist that you immediately stop
using www.*******  and disable any site available at that
1 d. P1 c- ~, J% u. Zaddress. You should not sell, offer to sell, or transfer the domain name
to a third party and should let the domain registration expire.   

6 Q# A  w$ K. G1 l6 m% [Please confirm in writing that you will agree to resolve this matter as
requested by November 9, 2005. If we do not receive confirmation from
% S! @. M! P* `: y6 n: eyou that you will comply with our request, we will have no choice but to
