Dear Mr Applegate, Thank you for your reply. It is the
strict policy of the LEGO Group to not let any third parties own
domain names incorporating the LEGO trademark or any other trademark
owned by the LEGO Group. This means that we again ask you to transfer
the domain name to the LEGO Group. This said, I have been in contact
with LEGO regarding your request and if you wish to send them a
project proposal, you can do so at: LEGO Juris A/S Att: Dorte Petersen
Koldingvej 2 7190 Billund Denmark For the transfer, please unlock
the domain name and send me the authorization code and we will
facilitate the transfer from here. Please let me know if you have
any questions. Sincerely, Stina Pilotti

Re: legosolar.com: request to adopt suggested product ian applegate
Dec 13 (3 days ago) to Stina Thnks for the info. Are you offering
any financial considerations? The brand Is lego. I could take the
site down completely. But it would only be fair that you purchased
the domain from me. It did cost me to buy it, and i cant be blamed
for reserving a domain that was available, especially something
obvious like legosolar.com Here are some options, tell me which
sounds the best: A. Lego can buy the domain for $1000 US B. i can
retain the url but take down the material C. we can wait for a
response to the proposal I prefer "c" and plan to send the materials
some time this week. I think that's fair. Please indicate which
you prefer.
Dear Mr Applegate, Please understand the LEGO Group
is working very hard to protect its trademark and any form of commercial
use of the trademark, without authorization is potentially damaging
to the trademark. As mentioned in the letter, the LEGO Group is
prepared to reimburse the registration cost for the domain name.
When you registered the domain name you warranted that “to
your knowledge, the registration of the domain name will not infringe upon or
otherwise violate the rights of any third party”. And this is not
the case. If the registration fee was higher than USD 15, please
send me a receipt of you expenses and we will review. It would
also seem that none of your options below would really be improving
your chances of ever cooperating with the LEGO Group. To summarize,
we do not accept any of the three options below, but kindly ask
you to unlock the domain name and send us the authorization code
with immediate effect.
to Stina The trouble with that is that the domain name is
now something. I know a fellow who registered nike.com before a
certain company registered it, and was payed for the domain in
seven figures. Please offer something better."
