This interesting quotation, in a NAF decision: "Respondent is appropriating Complainant's GOLDEN DOOR mark to advertise its services and exhibit naked women; a practice Complainant calls "pornosquatting." While the Panel is not familiar with this term, it finds that appropriating Complainant"s mark to exhibit pornography is evidence of bad faith registration and use pursuant to Policy § 4(a)(iii)".
Complainant previously defined so-called porno-squatting as "the practice in which a cyber squatter tries to take advantage of a well-known trademark and/or trade name to attract Internet users to a pornographic website."
