Unconvent. Abbrevs.: Att-chung!

Case: D2002-0606

Domain(s): attdsl.com, attdsl.biz, attdsl.info, attcellular.biz, attcellular.info

Complainant: AT&T Corp.

Respondent: May Halabi and All Time Talk Cellular

The Defense:

She explains why the suffix "att" was chosen. It is asserted that she often receives letters and notes with either (attn: John) or (att: John) and both are globally recognized by a good majority of people. Furthermore, it is asserted that the choice of "att" as an abbreviation for "attention" was merely based on a simplification of the abbreviation to facilitate the memorization and access of Attention DSL as attdsl and that if she were to include an "n" after "att" it would create confusion.
