Good evening
lets assume I own a company called "CookieExpress" and I may even have tradedmarked this name/logo etc.
My Dynamics domain is https://cookieexpress.crm4.dynamics.com (still free! :p) and maybe some version for a dev system etc.
Now, is there a way to let Microsoft know about my Company name and/or Trademark to make sure nobody else uses "CookieExpress" in their Dynamics URL (and ideally all other) domains (such as onmicrosoft.com)? For example cookieexpress-phishing.crm4.dynamics.com
I googled it but came up blank.
Thanks
Pete
Hi Pete,
There is no process for this. I suggest that you register the Dynamics URLs that you plan to use.
"I won't try it but if you would register pepsi-sso.crm4.dynamics.com, I am quite sure things will turn ugly quickly."
and you wrote exactly my point, the things will turn ugly AFTER, not before
While I see your point Guido Preite , I disagree :)
First, Microsoft owns all of its infrastructure so this can easily be done technically.
Second, all customers of Microsoft using these domains (dynamics, onmicrosoft etc) are businesses so they have a need to protect their brand, company name and trademarks and have the means to do so.
Third: it is common to do exactly this in other areas. Google AdWords for example does not let you use registered brandname/trademarks unless approved by the hold of such trademarks.
And last but not least: it makes a lot of sense from security perspectives too.
I won't try it but if you would register pepsi-sso.crm4.dynamics.com, I am quite sure things will turn ugly quickly.
Pete
do you contacted all the domain registrants to make sure they don't register a cookieexpress dot anything?
If other companies register something that you think go against your trademark you do action (like a lawsuit) after the fact, not before, this is of course my opinion.
