I think that’s rampant outside the U.S. It certainly is here in the Philippines.You’ll see faked name brands everywhere, not only in sidewalks and bazaars but even in malls. They cover everything from appliances and gadgets to clothing, shoes, bags, sunglasses and even makeup. Oh yes, also movies and tv series in vcd and dvd, as well as software and games. You really have to check everything to make sure you’re getting the realthing. Better still, buy from an authorized dealer. Many people still choose to buy the cheap fake brands though.

nice blog (checking the no follow blogs)

Like your blog, I look forward to more blog reviews.

Thanks Shaz and Brenda. i wish i had more time for blogging.

I’ve been using the misspelling strategy for quite some time and have seen some very good results from it! The more subtle you can make it, the better (such as the post you just made )

Michael, don’t let this blog die

Don’t forget to add SQNY, one of my favorites.

SQNY, I have not heard of that one ) Thanks!

I’m still waiting to find a good misspelling online. I have a friend that makes an easy $5000 USD a year on a misspelled website

don’t forget to add sqny

As an owner of a trademark I can tell you that even misspellings are covered under the mark as confusing or too similar varieties of the mark especially when applied to the same or similar types of products. They might as well just use the name outright, the mis spelling won’t keep them out of court. The only thing that keeps them out of court is they most likely are not US companies. I would expect that to change as attorneys in other countries become more familiar with the internet as it applies to their country, and they want to get a nice paycheck from these trademark holders.

thanks, it helps a lot

Great info thanks for sharing.
