Trademark trolling for fun and profit
vitalsecurity.org — Leo Stoller (well known for hurling legal letters at people involving amazingly generic "trademarks") has fired one at Castlecops.com ( an excellent security site), as he claims he owns the rights to the word "Castle". I remember this guy going after Google a while ago, and that case is still ongoing. Show your support for Castlecops!

Most of the trademark & Patent lawsuits and legal actions should never see the light of day, the fact that some of these defendants need to pay a lawyer to fight things like this is absurd and this guy should be held liable for his actions, and his lawyer should be disbarred.
There are many businesses that use the name Castle, many are the same type of business, heck I know of handful in my area. Type in "castle computer" in Google and there are lots of business's with the name. Just because it's the same word or name does not always mean it's trademark infringement. Too many people have been bullied by lawyers from large businesses to change their names and many large businesses have to fend off small time idiots like this, some might even give idiots like this a few thousand to leave them alone.
The Trademark, Patent and copyright laws all need an overhaul, as does the judicial system, hundreds of millions of dollars are wasted on garbage lawsuits every year. -
he's the douchebag that sued everybody and their grandma for the use of word "stealth"

he even used StealThisEmail.com because 2 words next to each other made up 'stealth'. -
White Castle FTW!

I regret to inform all digg users that through Mr.Stoller's services, I have trademarked the word, 'the'. According to my calculations, as virtually all digg users have violated my trademark, you collectively owe me $49 trillion.

Does he own rights for the word "Trademark"?

There is scum and then there is extortionist type scum!!!
