serving notice papers - how serious ?

He didn't sell anything, so he didn't make profit off their brand. No case. Been there, done that. I'm not giving legal advice to the OP or saying he shouldn't get a lawyer. I only said that I wouldn't waste any time on it. But thats me.

It is actually a Trademark dispute, the fact that no money was made doesn't come into it.
If the guy doesn't respond then the court will not look favourably on it and it is likely he will be found guilty.
It is irrelevant if anything was sold because the hearing will go ahead in his absence.

I was sued in a trademark case, but since I didn't make any profit from that trademark, just used the name, I won the case, even though I didn't do anything. I didn't even react to it, just got the final result when it was over.

Then you were very very lucky.

Well, the final verdict said, that since I didn't use the trademark to profit off it, there is no guilt. Trademarks protect businesses so others don't make money off their brand, but other than that...
 
I wish I had the last 3 minutes of my life back, except for this:

You're gonna need his 'deluxe package'. He knows a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy that can help you. Just call this number and order a 'replacement fan belt model # a-24k-17 for a 64 Chevy BelAir', start packing your shit and wait by the phone. It's gonna cost you 150 LARGE. It's been nice knowin you, good luck.
 

I couldn't find anything there that doesn't prove my point. Funny thing is, I found a word combination trademarked, that I used on websites before. It even says in the trademark that it can't be used for selling online services and manuals, which I did. The company emailed me in the past about a potential lawsuit and asked me to transfer the domain name to them. I said no and told them that the trademarked term is a common word combination, so I'm willing to go to court and I will win. Then they replied that all is fine and they appologize for the inconvenience. I actually won a case like this in the past, also a tradermarked term, but also a common word, so those have it really hard to protect their brand, if they choose words commonly used. That doesn't apply to thise Chanel case, obviously.

Nice One, although I think you were lucky in the previous case. Were there any other defendants in that case?
 
Ah next time make sure Chanel does not know who the hell owns the website. Surprises me how people
who want to open a replica shop do not know how to run an anonymous website.
 
Aright, here is an update ladies and gentlemen... the default judgement has been released and basecally they're entitled to suspend the domain name and a $10000 bond. Now there are 90 other websites in the case along with my buddy's... does that mean everyone shall pay 1/90 of $10000 like $110? Lol and that's considering if they even find the "buddy". On a good note: nobody will be buying a soap bracelet.

Didn't even know there could be a copyright on the specific combination of words.
