EPSONUSA.COM Domain Name Dispute Between Epson and Action Office Supplies

[Head Boy]

In 2001, Action Office Supplies, Inc. a registered small business - minority owned office supply company, developed their new Ecommerce software and wanted a website featuring Epson and Seiko products. The domain name epsonusa.com was the logical choice after researching and finding out that the name had become available when Epson did not renew the registration and allowed their license to the name to expire.

This could be an interesting decision as allowing the name to drop indicates a lack of interest in the name.
