Universal Tube & Rollform Equipment
Universal Tube & Rollform Equipment Corporation is an American manufacturer and supplier of metal machine tubes and pipes that was founded in 1985. The company specializes in buying and selling tube mills, pipe mills and rollforming machines. The company is currently based in Perrysburg, Ohio.
== Domain name ==
The company became known to much wider audiences because its original domain name ''uTube.com'' appeared to be very similar to ''YouTube.com''. The company had purchased the domain name in 1996. In August 2006, the company's website received 68 million hits which led to its servers crashing. Many of the users intended to go to the video archive website YouTube, but typed the homophonic "utube.com" into their browser instead. On October 30, 2006, the company took legal action against YouTube over the website confusion.〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=Universal Tube & Rollform Equipment Corporation )〕 The company has since moved their website to utubeonline.com.
The case appears to have been settled in late 2007, when Universal Tube withdrew its opposition to several "YouTube" trademark filings by the video-sharing website, saying that, "The parties have settled their dispute."〔(USPTO filing ), 21 December 2007, accessed 26 May 2010〕 UTube.com remains active, and shows large banner ads, presumably because the large amounts of hits that UTube still receives will generate extra ad revenue.
