HELP! Domain / brand infringement
I discovered by accident today — when a third party asked us about shipping — that we appear to have a domain / brand infringement issue.
The domain “pearsandpeaches.com” is selling a range of consumer goods. I checked with Whois / ICANN and that domain was registered after our trademark and domain pearandpeach.com was established.
Recommendations?

If you were in the United States, I would recommend getting a lawyer. They would write a cease-and-desist letter threatening legal action if it wasn’t stopped and then it would go from there. I don’t know what the rules are in Brazil or Mexico which I believe is where you operate.

My first problem is, I don’t know their location. There is no info on the Web site. I’ve emailed ICANN to see if they can help. I just discovered — this is ridiculous — that if you want to see if a company name has been registered in the USA, you have to do a search on 50 different states.
They have even copied the logo design. -
It’s a scam site

Place the domain name on backorder and wait the two months before it expires. That domain is set to expire in July this year.
Looks like a dodgy dropshipping site to me. They make no money so chances are they’ll just stop in July.

Thanks. Is the DMCA (Digital Millenium Copyright Act) applicable I wonder…
