Dear PrincipiaDiscordia.com:
While performing an Internet search, one of our employees discovered that you have started a publication that you are calling "Intermittens." We urge you to stop.
"Intermittens" is a trademark of Shine Your Light, which is headquarted in Vancouver, British Columbia in Canada. While your site was registered on 30 October of 2000 with Dreamhost in the United States, the earliest reference to Intermittens on your site appeared in 2008. We registered the domain name "Intermittens.com" on 11 April of 2003, and renewed it on 28 September of 2007 to extend our ownership of the domain through 11 April of 2013.
It is very clear that we have the prior and current claim to the use of the name "Intermittens." Because of general international agreements and specific treaties between the United States and Canada, any use of the name "Intermittens" without permission is a violation of Canadian and U. S. law. Note that prior registration is not required for the filing of a lawsuit in regard to such ownership. (Please consult Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy of Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), and Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights of the World Trade Organization (WTO)).
We do, however, wish to avoid the time and cost of bringing legal action against you, and assume you do not want it brought against you. Therefore, if you will cease and desist from using the name "Intermittens" for your magazine or for any other publication, product, item, or any goods or service within a period of fourteen (14) days from this notice, we will accept that as compliance.
This shall be considered official notification, in accordance with Canadian and United States federal law.
If you have any questions, you may call our office at (604) 736-4743 or send us a Fax to (604) 224-5557.
