Example of litigating over something that can't typically be trademarked - "Nissan" is a family name. There are plenty of articles online discussing the nissan.com case from the UDRP perspective, which is the typical remedy, and one Nissan can still pursue - you can't escape the UDRP due to the ICANN mandate.
- creeble 4y agoFord, Chrysler, Bloomberg - I'm not sure what you mean by "can't typically be trademarked". If Nissan Motors believed they could win via UDRP, why haven't they?
- giobox 4y agoMr Nissan's hand is rather strengthened when he can show the UDRP panel he won a similar case in a US court of law, which might take the wind out the sails on the Nissan Motors side. For what its worth, the WIPO databases show plenty of other UDRP claims from Nissan Motors. > I'm not sure what you mean by "can't typically be trademarked". I mean exactly that - under most trademark law systems, you cant typically trademark a family name. I say typically because like everything there are exceptions.
