    Re: Infringement and Dilution of Porsche Trademarks

Dear Mr. Leukers:

    This law firm represents both Dr. Ing. h.c.F. Porsche AG and Porsche
Cars North America, Inc. ("Porsche") on trademark matters and in
trademark litigation.  Porsche takes policing and enforcement of its
trademark rights on the Internet seriously.  This letter is an attempt
to resolve your infringement and dilution of the Porsche trademarks
short of litigation. 

    You should be aware that Porsche recently obtained a preliminary
injunction against the registrant of PORSCHESOURCE.COM in Porsche Cars
North America, Inc., et al. v. Spencer, 2000 WL 641209 (E.D. Cal.). 
Porsche is also seeking $100,000 in statutory damages in this lawsuit
under the recently enacted Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act.

As you may also be aware, Porsche has filed a lawsuit against 128
Internet domain names that use the trademarks PorscheŽ or BoxsterŽ, or
variations of the trademarks PorscheŽ or BoxsterŽ in Internet domain
names.  This lawsuit is presently pending before the Fourth Circuit
Court of Appeals.  The Eastern District of Virginia held that "the mere
act of registration [of domain names containing Porsche trademarks]
creates an immediate injury [to Porsche] . . . [c]ustomers might try to
contact Porsche through 'PORSCHE.NET,' for example, only to find that
they have reached a 'dead end' on the Web and then to conclude that the
strength of Porsche's brand name is not as great as they first
thought."  Porsche Cars North America, Inc. et al. v. PORSCH.COM, et
al., -F.Supp.2d-, 1999 WL 378360 (E.D.Va. 1999).  In short, the law is
well settled that the misappropriation of famous trademarks as domain
names violates the Lanham Act and dilutes trademarks.  See, e.g.,
Panavision International, L.P. v. Toeppen, 1998 WL 178553 (9th Cir.
April 17, 1998).

It has recently come to Porsche's attention that you have registered the
Internet domain name PORSCHEFANCLUB.COM that uses the world famous
trademark Porscheâ.  It appears from the many other domain names that
you have registered and that are listed in the Internic Whois Database
that you are a cyberpirate and a cybersquatter.  You should be aware
that the Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act makes it unlawful to
register famous trademarks in an Internet domain name and provides for
statutory damages of up to $100,000.00 per domain name.  

PORSCHEŽ, the Porsche CrestŽ, CARRERAŽ, TARGAŽ, and BOXSTERŽ are some of
the registered trademarks of Dr. Ing. h.c.F. Porsche AG, and are
proprietary property of that corporation.  Usage of the Porsche
trademarks or any confusingly similar variation thereof, without
consent, violates state and federal law, is misleading to the public,
and constitutes a misappropriation of the goodwill and reputation
developed by Porsche.

In order to resolve this issue amicably and without litigation, please
sign and return a copy of the enclosed Declaration of Cancellation of
Domain Names.  This matter will then be fully resolved as far as you are
concerned.  If the Declaration is not signed and returned to me on or
before August 4, 2000, Porsche will initiate legal action against you
with respect to the Internet domain names that you have registered and
seek damages in the amount of $100,000 per domain name as the
Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act allows.

    This letter is without prejudice to all rights of Porsche, including
past or future royalties, past or future damages, attorneys' fees, and
to bring enforcement actions for all past or future infringement,
dilution, or unauthorized uses.
    
Should you or your attorney have any questions concerning Porsche's
position in this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me.

                    Sincerely,
