He had registered shell.de and used it primarily as a family website but also offered a translation service [1].&lt;p&gt;The case went to the Federal Court of Justice (German: Bundesgerichtshof, BGH), the hightest court in the system of ordinary jurisdiction in Germany.

But it was a much more personal fight for Uzi Nissan, and a worrying reminder of how much a big company or anyone with a lot of power and money has over someone who doesn’t—right or wrong.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yeah, something is wrong with the US legal system. The case could have been dismissed at the outset. He owned the name; his was a computer company, theirs a car company.</text></comment>
