AllanMansoor.com domain lapse and subsequent trademark lawsuit

In February 2017, the OC Weekly reported that Mansoor's personal website had been purchased by a "John Doe" after Mansoor allowed the registration to expire. Mansoor's website was altered to a blog that reviewed pornographic websites with titles such as Backroom Facials and Ass Parade. Mansoor brought a lawsuit in federal court for trademark infringement against the anonymous purchaser of his domain.{{cite news |url=http://www.ocweekly.com/news/costa-mesa-porno-mystery-drives-orange-county-politician-to-file-federal-lawsuit-7882621 |title=Costa Mesa Porno Mystery Drives Orange County Politician To File Federal Lawsuit |author=R.
