Apparently, according to an InternetNews.com story, Porsche has
settled with 48 of 128 domain holders who had been named in a
domain name lawsuit. The 48 agreed, by signing legal documents,
to cancel their domain registrations and to not register domain names
containing either Porsche or Boxster in the future.
The rest of the 128 registrants have until March 31 to respond to
Porsche's lawsuit.
VW is likely to use Porsche's success as a precedent in going after
domain names using its brand name...
