A California District Court has issued a decision aimed at preventing consumer confusion between Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. ("Nissan Motors") and Nissan Computer Corporation ("Nissan Computers"). The Court granted a preliminary injunction preventing Nissan Computers, the owners of the nissan.com and nissan.net domain names, from using those websites to display automobile-related information, commercial advertising, or web links. In addition, the Court ordered that Nissan Computers display a prominent caption identifying those sites as affiliated with Nissan Computers and not with Nissan Motors.
