Bosley Medical Institute, Inc. v. Kremer

Michael Risch

This case note considers the role of commercial use for the Anti-Cybersquatting Consumer Protection Act (ACPA). Recall that Kremer started a non-commercial gripe site. In an earlier part of the opinion, the court ruled that registering the domain name "BosleyMedical.com" was not commercial for the purposes of infringement and dilution.
