Online infringement and dilution

IP violations and brand dilution on the internet.

Verizon v. OnlineIC

In 2009, a court upheld a $33 million judgment against OnlineIC for using over 660 domain names confusingly similar to Verizon's — the largest cybersquatting judgment to date.

E. & J. Gallo Winery v. Spider Webs, Verizon v. OnlineIC, and Academy of Motion Pictures v. GoDaddy are real cybersquatting cases.
