Default Dell sues Dell over Web hosting site
A Web designer called Paul Dell says the American computer manufacturer is taking him to court because he created dellwebsites.com

Quote:
Paul Dell, a Web site designer based in Minorca, claimed on Tuesday that he is being sued in France by US computer manufacturer Dell.

Mr Dell told ZDNet UK that Dell is suing him because he launched a Web design site in April 2001 called dellwebsites.com.

According to Mr Dell, the computer manufacturer accuses him of "trademark infringement, unfair competition and acts of parasitism, to the detriment of the American company Dell," which itself used to run a site called Dellhost, a hosting services company aimed at SMEs.
Just read this and thought it was unbelievable and sadly quite funny too.

The rest of the article is here.

Pffffffffffffffft.

It is like the old McDonalds and McBrat thing (they didn't like them using Mc LOL. Thats why I hate them ).

It is impossible to trademark a persons name, well, at least stop them using it (change your last name?)..... or is it?

NOTHING suprises me any more, when it comes to excuses to sue people.

Heh, guess Dell isn't making enough money, I think they have this case in the bag. It's pretty stupid to name a site something that has been as heavily trademarked as Dell is, and I think the owner of dellwebsites.com should have researched his name before making the site.
