Nissan once sued a computer shop owner to get Nissan.com. Ironically, his name was Uzi Nissan, and he had registered the domain in 1994.

The lawsuit dragged on for years, with both sides winning some points, but Nissan.com never ended up in the carmaker’s hands.

Even a big corporation can’t easily take a name that’s someone else’s surname. Who do you think had the stronger case?
