Summary of the response

Wednesday, February 22, 2006

Some of you have been asking me for a summary of the response to Planeta Agostini's demand against me for the domain deusto.com Here you have it:




  • Planeta Agostini declared that, since they owned the trademark "deusto", my domain deusto.com was in conflict with such trademark. Looking at the trademarks they actually registered at the Spanish Oficina Española de Patentes y Marcas, it can be appreciated that they do not own the trademark "deusto" as they say, but the "deusto as a logo" ("denominación con gráfico deusto"). In other words, a logo with the name "deusto" in it.




  • "Deusto" is a toponym, a name of a place, the name of a neighborhood in Bilbao, Spain, and as such, Planeta has no exclusive rights over it. There are hundreds of businesses in the areas with that name (deusto) in their names.
  • They accuse me of putting advertisement of Ediciones Deusto in the website deusto.com. Funny enough, that advertisement is part of a an agreement with Casa del Libro via Tradedoubler. And do you know who owns Casa del Libro ? Well, yes, Grupo Planeta, owners of Planeta Agostini. So they are accusing me of selling their books when I have an agreement with one of their companies to do so .... anybody understands this ?

With all this I have requested the WIPO for a "Reverse Domain Hijacking" statement against Planeta Agostini for harassing me and abusing the procedure. Hope to get it, because this is surreal ....
