Pinterest vinställ today won a judgment in U.S. District Court against Qian Jin, a Chinese vinställ cybersquatter, so it can take control of 100 domains he had bought, including pinterests.com, vinställ pimterest.com and pinterost.com.
Today, if you go to those domains you’ll vinställ find cheesy online casino ads and lists of related links. Soon, they’ll redirect to Pinterest itself — which is probably where people who type them intend to go.
The judge found the infringement to be “willful and serial,” noting, “There is no indication of good faith mistake or excusable vinställ neglect justifying defendant’s failure to respond or otherwise defend against plaintiff’s allegations.”
Said a Pinterest spokesperson, “This vinställ is a good outcome for the people who use Pinterest. We’ll continue vinställ to work to protect pinners and our trademarks.” Of course, since the defendant didn’t even respond to the complaint, it’s not exactly clear whether he will pay up.
In other Pinterest trademark news, the mobile appmaker Path has said it intends to challenge Pinterest’s attempt to trademark the stylized “P” it uses as its logo, which is quite similar to the one Path uses.
