Fine Art Registry® wins arbitration over Park West's Trademark Infringement

Fine Art Registry® Wins Arbitration Over Defamatory and Slanderous Statements as well as Trademark Infringement made by Individuals Linked to Park West Gallery and Hired to Hijack Fine Art Registry Domain Name and Federally Registered Trademarks

While accusing Fine Art Registry of running a "smear campaign" against them, Park West Gallery recently hired PR consultants and writers to fabricate gross lies about Fine Art Registry and to set up a website, www.aboutfineartregistry.com on which to publish these lies and slander. The consultants and writers involved were Louis Postel and a group called Monsoon, Tracy Payne and Julia Genatossio, who have also done business as GuerillaPRGirlz.com, all in Jamaica, Vermont.

To defend its good name, Fine Art Registry instructed its team of attorneys to bring an action against Park West Gallery and its hired hands to stop the slanderous, defamatory, and libel statements as well the injurious violations of Fine Art Registry federally registered trademarks.

The case was arbitrated by the World Intellectual Property Organization in Geneva, Switzerland.

The arbitrator did an excellent job of tracing the facts and establishing that the rogue website and trademark infringers were indeed in the hire of Park West Gallery, and ordered that the domain name they were using be transferred to Fine Art Registry.

The findings and decision of the World Intellectual Property Organization are presented here in full.
