Civil Action No. 1:11-cv-00583AJT-TCB

PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FOR AN ORDER
TO PUBLISH NOTICE OF ACTION
Plaintiff Entrepreneur Media, Inc. (“Plaintiff”) respectfully moves this Court for an
Order under 15 U.S.C. § 1125(d)(2)(A)(ii)(II)(bb) directing that Plaintiff publish notice of this
action in The Washington Times within fourteen (14) days after entry of the Order.
Plaintiff has filed an in rem civil action alleging a cybersquatting claim against the
Internet Domain Names b-entrepreneur.com and s-entrepreneur.com (collectively, the
“Defendant Domain Names”) in this District, where the domain name registry is located, because
Plaintiff is not able to obtain in personam jurisdiction over the owners of the Defendant Domain
Names. 15 U.S.C. § 1125(d)(2)(A)(I). The Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act of
ATI-2484602v1

1999 (the “ACPA”) specifically provides that service of process in an in rem action is made by
“sending a notice of the alleged violation and intent to proceed under this paragraph to the
registrant of the domain name at the postal and email address provided by the registrant to the
registrar” and “publishing notice of the action as the court may direct promptly after filing the
action.” 15 U.S.C. § 1125(d)(2)(A)(ii)(II)(aa) & (bb). Accordingly, Plaintiff hereby submits this
Motion to Publish in accordance with 15 U.S.C. § 1125(d)(2)(A)(ii)(II)(bb).
In further support of this Motion, Plaintiff submits the accompanying Memorandum.
Dated: August 26, 2011
