He should not have to drop his domain. Trademark law states that you can not use someone else's trademark if it would cause consumers to confuse your business for the trademark holder's business. I doubt FB would be able to prove in court that any consumer would go to breakmyfaceboom.com and think that it's the real FB page operated by FB.
It's probably not worth fighting over, but if I were google, I would offer to indemnify this guy and pay for an attorney, just to fuck with FB.
- notalawyertm 13y agoyep....people don't understand TM law......if I was him i'd start by searching "Federal court (9th circuit) - Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc. v. Tabari, 610 F.3d 1171 (9th Cir. 2010)" ...and send a reply letter saying "I don't think people are going to confuse us but just in case in rder to settle this suit i'm now placing a message at the base of each page saying "This page/app is not endorsed by or owned by Facebook inc" Will buy you time....as well us run up their legal bills as they will float your response up a level before deciding the next move.
