Tencent Science and Technology (Shanhui) Beijing time July 29 news, according to foreign media reports, Facebook local time in Thursday sued the purchase of the company's domain name similar to a number of companies, accusing the defendant of violating the company's trademark rights.

Facebook's lawsuit involves domain names similar or closely related to facebook.com. Facebook says the owners of these domains are "cyber cockroaches" (typosquatters), arguing that these domain names violate their trademark rights.

"The defendant's actions also undermined the reputation associated with Facebook and its logo, damaged Facebook's reputation, violated the defendant's agreement with Facebook, disrupted Facebook's business and profited illegally," Facebook said in a filing to the court. Facebook asked the defendant to stop the infringement, or transfer the domain name to Facebook, compensate for Facebook's losses and make other forms of compensation. ”

Facebook listed 25 defendants in the case, several of whom were individuals and the rest were companies. The disputed domain names include facebobk.com, facemook.com, wwwfacefook.com, ffacebook.com and faecbook.com.

Facebook has previously won a similar lawsuit. In 2007, for example, Facebook won a lawsuit against face-book.com owners.
