GENEVA, Switzerland — A World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) panel issued a decision on Tuesday, ruling against a Russia-based website operator accused of infringing on Clips4Sale’s intellectual property.

Clips4Sale’s attorney Corey D. Silverstein of Silverstein Legal had filed a WIPO complaint in January against Andrey Leonov, a webmaster based in the Russian Federation who registered the domain Clips-4-Sale.com last June.

The complaint alleged that Leonov was utilizing the domain to unlawfully offer competitive services that directly infringed on Clips4Sale’s intellectual property.

WIPO’s decision awarded the infringing domain to Clips4Sale, finding that “it was duly demonstrated that Respondent was aware of Complainant’s rights to the trademarks Clips4Sale and Clips4Sal.com at the time of the registration — as the evidence to the Complaint contains proof that the disputed domain name resolved to a website exposing content similar to Complainant’s website and including the trademark Clips4Sale aiming to divert internet users.”

The panel also held that the similar-sounding URL “exposes the likelihood of Respondent’s knowledge of Complainant’s trademark and a clear intent to take a free ride on Complainant’s renown.”

“We are very pleased with the panel’s decision,” Silverstein told XBIZ. “Clips4Sale will not hesitate to protect its intellectual property rights regardless of the location of any infringer. In this case, Andrey Leonov’s infringement was outright repugnant and the infringing domain was rightfully ordered transferred to Clips4Sale.

“Should Mr. Leonov or any other infringer engage in similar unlawful conduct, Clips4Sale will continue to exercise all of its legal options,” the attorney added.

LOS ANGELES — Alpha Studio Group (ASG) exclusive Jayden Marcos stars with Kane Fox and Asher Day in “The Worst Roommate.”

As the scene opens, Marcos and Kane “have had enough of Asher Day being the worst roommate,” the synopsis reveals. “Asher has an idea to make it up to them — what if Asher willingly becomes their free use roommate? That’s right, folks. For an entire week, he’s eagerly at their beck and call.”

Marcos enthused about his co-stars.

“I always love working with Kane and Asher,” he said. “It was absolutely amazing to film with them! Free Use is something I find really hot, so I was super excited for this scene and it didn’t disappoint.”

Added ASG Chief Creative Officer Jeremy Babcock, “This notion of guys being ready to go “any time, any place” is such a common fantasy, and the casual nature of the sex and mundane nature of the situations really builds a unique world. It takes an extra level of skill for the performers and directors to bring these to life, but it’s been very fun to watch.”

“The Worst Roommate” is streaming on ASGMax.
