You may consider initially rejecting this application because you may believe our trademark "harleymom" may "offend" Harley Davidson motorcycles. However, Harley Davidson regularly scours the Internet for anything they consider a trademark violation and have even started a number of law suits. Since we have used the name "harleymom" and the URL "harleymom.com" since 1995, and have had advertising on our site since 1998, there is no question that Harley-Davidson is aware of our URL (harleymom.com) and has not requested the discontinuance of its use. We are claiming ownership of the trademark "harleymom" accrued under "common law usage." We are in the process of compiling copies of letters from Harley-Davidson to website owners and citations of lower court lawsuits started by Harley-Davidson against website owners. The list is volumnious and we need additional time to thoroughly compile this information. Examples of Harley-Davidson's Internet scouring include using ICANN's Uniform Domain Name Dispute National Arbitration Forum (H-D Michigan, Inc. v. Garry Skaggs d/b/a Garry Skaggs Company Claim Number: FA0211000132449 where Harley Davidson demanded surrender of the domain names and was unsuccessful in part). Some cases go as high as the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit (the "Appellate Court") (Harley-Davidson, Inc. v. Ronald Grottanelli, 1999 U.S. App. LEXIS 565 (January 15, 1999). _________________ This letter was addressed to ironheadsportster.com and received from..... Trademark Enforcement Coordinator of The Harley-Davidson Motor Company ... We are further aware that you are using "ironheadsportster.com" as your web site domain name. Again, as an independent business, unaffiliated with Harley-Davidson Motor Company, you may use our worded trademarks in truthful and informational phrases to describe your activities. Since your web site involves commercial activity, we do not feel that your use of our trademarks is informational and thus you cannot use any of our trademarks, which in this particular case means you cannot use "SPORTSTER," as part of your domain name. Using our HARLEY-DAVIDSON trademark as part of your domain name is likely to cause the consumer or potential consumer to confuse your web site with us. We wish to also point out that the entity responsible for assigning domain names does not check to see if a requested domain name violates an existing trademark. It is concerned only with whether the name is already taken as a domain name. In other words, simply being assigned a domain name does ! not necessarily entitle you to the rights thereof. ... ...
harleymom has become distinctive of the goods/services, as demonstrated by the attached evidence.
