About the Dell/Yahoo! lawsuit

We have the unhappy duty of informing you that on October 10, 2007, Dell, Inc., Alienware, Inc., and Yahoo! Inc., filed lawsuits against CapitolDomains and two other registrars. The plaintiffs allege that a small percentage of the domain names we have registered for our clients have names confusingly similar to their trademarks. However, instead of bringing their complaints in open court, the plaintiffs proceeded in secrecy, inflicting tremendous damage on CapitolDomains and the other defendants.
The worst of those injuries also affects our customers: the plaintiffs obtained a court order forcing VeriSign, Inc., our registry, to lock most of the domain names we have registered on behalf of our registrants.
We have retained Newman Dichter LLP, one of the leading firms in domain-related legal disputes, and are confident that we will ultimately prevail. At this early stage, we cannot predict how long the court orders affecting your domain names will remain in place. However, we now have an arrangement with plaintiffs permitting us to address issues with individual domain names on a case-by-case basis.
Please accept CapitolDomains's sincere apology for this completely unpredictable turn of events. Rest assured that we take our responsibilities to you and your account seriously and are working aggressively to remedy this unfortunate and unfair situation as soon as possible. If you have any questions or need assistance with a particular domain name, do not hesitate to contact us or our attorneys.
