1 k8 N0 S6 I6 N' W8 G' U. |Dear Sir or Madam:

2 I  j3 K( ^, b7 h- CWe are writing concerning your registration and use of the domain name
*******.com which contains the famous eBay trademark.
4 x* l9 f) Y- R: v- H
As you undoubtedly know, eBay is the leading provider of online
6 Z' {+ h1 m0 d8 }$ Y6 f2 |7 Xperson-to-person trading services and related goods and services. eBay
adopted the name and trademark eBay in September 1995 and, since that
: X/ m  c% D7 i( c% J- `, ?$ @$ Etime, eBay has actively used the eBay name and trademark in connection
- h. q) g* B* swith its online trading and related services, including maintaining the
web site www.eBay.com. The coined term eBay is one of the most famous
& x$ r' U3 [$ f) V+ ]7 ?. l8 ?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
6 M" I: U1 K. ~; ^0 O3 N+ R) dits name.
9 q0 r: P( P# W( n
4 E8 \  t- O  a6 ZeBay 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
8 }3 a9 t- S5 g. j' O7 {4 r  Kservices, the eBay name and trademarks are widely known among the
/ z, `$ v) h2 I" p1 aconsuming public worldwide, and the name and trademarks embody
9 j3 w" b3 ?; q2 w+ c9 S7 z4 k# I! osubstantial and valuable goodwill.

Accordingly, we were concerned when we learned of your registration and
) D) ?' V- ?" Vuse of*********.com. As we hope you can appreciate, protection of
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.)
  N+ j* p6 F& m" @: Z) ^because it infringes and dilutes the famous eBay trademark.  
* \1 p9 z0 ]- [2 x* z% H
3 h% `6 N+ `1 {$ m3 }' J0 yInfringement occurs when a third party's use of a company's trademark
% v  _4 D; I2 a& {: _" S5 @+ H6 s(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.

# L3 U( B  X8 F# rWe have filed several successful federal court actions in the United
# s% k% D; M( g- m. s. }States against companies and individuals employing the famous eBay
: ]- B) I! |/ z8 M- s; \trademark in their domain names, as well as more than six proceedings
before the United Nation's World Intellectual Property Organization's
- J- v4 I# l2 l0 J+ {* e% W5 ?$ Barbitration panel. eBay has prevailed in each case and the domain names
7 C9 X) N' @: p$ }at issue were all ordered to be transferred to eBay.  
$ t( @& p, c8 v2 z$ p* _9 P9 P
In addition to the above, the United States Patent and Trademark Office
("USPTO") has recently denied registration of the mark "ebaysecurities"
- N9 g1 O' \: Nby a third party. Like your domain name,  "ebaysecurities" incorporated
the entire eBay trademark, adding only a generic term to eBay's famous
mark. The USPTO recognized that eBay is a famous trademark and therefore
denied registration of ebaysecurities. eBay is concerned that your
4 Q& M. E6 q# X. punauthorized use of the eBay name may cause confusion as to whether you
& n2 F1 S" y! J9 V& eor your company's activities are authorized, endorsed or sponsored by
eBay when, in fact, they are not.  
) L/ ?( s/ Z0 w0 L" J
; t' V" y* m. ?& ^& p  N+ IWe understand that you may have registered www.****-****.com without
full knowledge of the law in this area. However, eBay is concerned about

! I+ k4 M8 T/ D& a0 R* z  Xthe Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act
8 s' |: ?- N1 _1 W* j, a0 g(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

& m5 g' K1 U! \) @  J( ZWhile eBay respects your right of expression and your desire to conduct
. T: V4 q5 s/ w9 {. h, zbusiness on the Internet, eBay must enforce its own rights in order to
protect its valuable and famous trademark. For these reasons, and to
