by Traverse Legal, reviewed by Enrico Schaefer - September 12, 2011 - g. Trademark Typosquatting Under Anti-Cybersquatting Act
Cybersquatting lawsuit not enough to protect typo domain:
Despite Facebook’s cybersquatting lawsuit effort, the typo domain Facebopok.com sold for $1,999 on SnapNames.com, according to TheDomains.com.
Facebopok.com forwards to f-questionnaire.com, which is clearly a counterfeit site using the same colors, font and facebook logo in order to deceive consumers.
Facebopok.com:
Just because a registrar allows you to register a domain name, or you are able to pick a domain name up on the aftermarket, doesn’t mean it isn’t domain theft.
