Cybersquatters or Entrepreneurs: At What Point is Intervention Appropriate?

Abstract

It is some 156 years since Perry v Truefitt where Langdale LJ said: “A man is not to sell his own goods under the pretence that they are the goods of another man; he cannot be permitted to practise such a deception, nor to use the means which contribute to that end. He cannot therefore be allowed to use names, marks, letters, or other indicia, by which he may induce purchasers to believe, that the goods which he is selling are the manufacture of another person.”
