When Your Crypto Token Dream Gets Mercilessly Panel-Slapped

26 August 2025

Behold the tragic saga of lonzatoken.com, the brainchild of a gentleman named Edward Cullen who apparently believed the fastest path to crypto millions was to yoink a famous biotech company’s name and bolt the word “token” onto it like it was 2017 all over again. Genius-level strategy, truly – except the part where everyone with two brain cells recognizes Lonza as a serious global player in life sciences, not your average pump-and-dump meme coin factory.

This absolute moron registered the domain in 2025 with all the subtlety of a brick through a window, presumably hoping confused investors would flock to his exciting new “LonzaToken” project. The panel, however, was not in the mood for fairy tales. They calmly pointed out Lonza’s decades of trademark rights, worldwide fame, and complete lack of interest in launching cryptocurrency experiments. Meanwhile, our hero offered zero evidence of legitimate rights or bona fide use – shocking, we know.

In the final act of self-ownage, the respondent even emailed the Center offering to hand over the domain after the complaint landed – like that was going to erase the stench of premeditated bad faith. The panel transferred the domain faster than you can say “rug pull”, leaving our would-be crypto visionary to go back to whatever basement scheme he was cooking up next. Lesson learned the hard way: if your entire business model depends on hoping trademark lawyers are as dumb as you are, maybe pick a different career.
