Wtf.... Penguin Studio - United Bimmer Community

**komodo** · 08-30-2005, 01:21 AM

I was browsing around google and found this site:
www.penguinstudio.com

They use the name Penguin Studio, which seems very similar to Penguin Studios (my company: www.penguinstudios.com). They sound all badass, but the contact email is an aol account, so I'm guessing it's a one-man show.

I think I'm going to contact my lawyer tomorrow regarding this.

Ran an xwhois.... it is a one man show, based in New Jersey.

He doesn't even have his own server, he uses another mass-hosting company.

I've spent some time researching him online.

He's some 16 year old high school kid.

This is the email I sent him:

My name is Harry Maugans and I founded and operate a company called Penguin Studios. We are legally incorporated and have followed all measures to legally protect our name and branding. We’ve done work for CompUSA, Chevron, Texaco, Marathon, Expedia.com, and a few other high profile clients, one of which alerted me to your site this evening. Your company’s name is infringing upon our incorporation, legal copyrights, and trademarks, and may confuse potential clients searching for Penguin Studios with online search engines. I’ll be contacting my attorney tomorrow to ensure our legal security, however I wanted to first contact you and inquire about a course of action to move forward. Be aware, I am taking this matter very seriously and will take legal action if no resolution is promptly found.

I also see on the bottom of your website a copyright notice from 1996-2005 for your company, however I can’t believe such a similar copyright would clear. I have a screen shot of the website and will also ask my attorney to submit a Search Request to the US Copyright Office for the validity of such a claim. Forgery of online copyrights violates Circular 66 of Federal Copyright Law, unless legally officially declared with form 17 U.S.C. sec. 102 in 1996, as you published. If declared Willful Infringement for Profit, as this appears to be, it’s valid grounds for criminal prosecution.

If I do not hear back from you within 48 hours, we’ll move forward to the next step. Consider this a written, documented warning.

Thank you for your time.
