DaimlerChrysler challenged our use of the domain name "MercedesShop.com". Basically, they said that we were trying to fool people into thinking we were Mercedes and not independent.

We had to hire a Philadelphia lawyer and defend ourselves. It cost lots of $$$. Here's a link to the final WIPO ruling on the matter.

It's interesting that our case has been used as an example in other similar cases.
