DLA Piper Rudnick Gray Cary Cover Letter
23 May 2006
Dear Sir
WW.W.EASY-MOBILES.CO.UK
We were instructed by our client, easyGroup IP Licensing Limited, to write to you in relation to your registration of the domain name easy-mobiles.co.uk.
We wrote to you on 15 March 2006 at the address then recorded on Nominet’s Whois database. A copy of our letter dated 15 March 2006 and accompanying undertakings is enclosed. Our letter was returned to us by the Royal Mail as undeliverable. It has since come to our attention that you have updated your contact details on Nominet’s Whois records and we are therefore writing to you at your current address.
Our client’s complaint against you is fully set out in the attached letter which we suggest you read carefully.
Please note that if you do not provide us with signed undertakings in the form attached to our letter dated 15 March 2006 by close of business on 6 June 2006, then our client reserves the right to commence proceedings against you for passing off without further notice.
We suggest you take legal advice on this matter.
Yours faithfully
DLA PIPER RUDNICK GRAY CARY UK LLP

[…] First general comments on the presentation and the way it was written. It arrived First Class, not even recorded, so that if I did not start publishing the documents, they would not have had a simple proof of delivery. Bad mistake on the side of a law firm that claims to be internationally renown and to have more than 3,100 lawyers in 59 offices in 22 countries. Is this just a neglect or they are so short of money that splashing a couple of pounds for recorded delivery is unaffordable luxury for them? Note the heading of the cover letter - instead of WWW.EASY-MOBILES.CO.UK it actually reads WW.W.EASY-MOBILES.CO.UK. Is this a clever legal move ? I doubt it. Most likely a typho, but the one that can cost a lot. I don’t want their typist to be fired - we are in the same boat, but the whole firm looks rather unprofessional to say the least. […]

[…] Firstly, please refer to the DLA Piper Rudnick Gray Cary Cover Letter for the original text. Let us for the time being forget that the letter itself in its heading refers to a nonexistent entity WW.W.EASY-MOBILES.CO.UK (sic!) instead of easy-mobiles.co.uk as it should. It might or might not make the whole letter or even all of the attached papers legally void. But this is indeed, a very miniscular mistake compare to those bold and much more serious ones made in the legal assessment and the presentation of the case. […]

[…] Now we have another masterpiece from the same legal workshop. A second letter arrived from the DLA PIPER RUDNICK GRAY CARY on Friday. Amuse yourself as I did by admiring the same WW.W.EASY-MOBILES.CO.UK (sic!) typo as we have already seen here. This fine example of typographic persistency perfectly correlates with the following sentence I find particularly touching: We write further to our letter dated 23 May 2006 to which we have received no response.
