Megameeting UK Ltd vs mega-meeting.co.uk domain name dispute

The nature of the Nominet Dispute was twofold and the Complainant (Mr Stuart Salisbury) asserted:

1. That the www.mega-meeting.co.uk website was an infringement of trademark

2. That the domain name was an abusive registration

However, the reason that the www.mega-meeting.co.uk web site was changed from a blog to an information site was purely because Mr Stuart Salisbury claimed that the blog was intended to confuse prospective custmers of Megameeting UK Ltd and at the same time divert traffic to another web site. The blog site was subsequently taken down and the site became an information site.

Commercial background:

WiredRed UK Ltd was set up in 2004. During the following 4 years, the company invested approximately £250,000+ in marketing promotions in order to build a customer base and prospect list of potential customers. The fact that an employee, who was remunerated extremly well for a raw graduate, decided to join forces with his father in a new, directly competing, venture and use the proprietary intellectual property of Wiredred is quite franky immoral and preposterous. The fact that the burden of proof falls upon WiredRed to actually "catch the perpetrator with his hands in the till" makes a mockery of the law.

A proposal to prove whether Magameeting UK Ltd had acted in a professional manner and complied with the previous "promises and undertakings" made by Stuart Salisbury (as the sole Director of Megameeting UK Ltd) was rejected by Stuart Salisbury because "it may not be practical for MegaMeeting UK Ltd to initiate such a large operation with customers who’s contacts may have changed."

Surely if Stuart Salisbury, James Salisbury or any other person acting on behalf of MegaMeeting had acted in accordance with their previous "promises", there would be no need to contact any of Megameeting UK Ltd's customers??
