Congratulations to the Wailers, Bob, Peter, who will never know as they are both dead, but the remaining members, who had nothing walk away with this victory. Great music and a great band with a tragic ending. This is a nice victory for those that remain.

It also demonstrates that making sure you use trademarks and have them registered legally is a good idea to practice.

Many companies devote resources to obtain trademark registration, but fail to protect their marks thereafter. The same is true of domain name registration. Companies need to learn that they must monitor third party uses of their mark and send a trademark notice letter where appropriate. They need to monitor domain registrations which might infringe their marks. Companies that aren't monitoring third party registrations and domain name registrations aren't protecting their marks. Even unintentional infringement can cause you to lose your trademark rights.

Bob would no doubt tell the Plaintiff Wailers, "No Domain Name, No Cry!"
