If this company has been around five years, how can something that started this year sue them for using "their" name?

Because the big companies win. They can afford to litigate until the other side is broke.

And I heard that as these new porn domain URL extensions come to market, that some corporations and public entertainers are being granted “first shot” at buying their names.

I understand “Microsoft.porn” and “TaylorSwift.porn” however Microsoft does not YET own the word “office” yet they were given first shot at buying “office.porn”.

Hmm.. Let’s see how these lawsuits have been going recently.. Robin Thicke is on line one, says this is a very bad idea...

I think that fox should lose the use of empire for its series as the result of the law suit it is obvious they stole the name from the company and are infringing on there trademark.

Maybe they should sue New York for being the Empire State.

There was an “Empire Records” from back in the 1950’s as well. Here’s a link that shows some of the labels on 45RPM singles.

I thought the word “empire” would be in the public domain by now

Maybe someone should copyright the word “fox”
