They are and do, but it's like whack a mole. It's an issue for other large manufacturers in the industry (Ruger, Beretta, etc.) and other industries as well. Once legal action is started it usually takes months (or longer) for the site to get shut down. And the people running those fraud sites can have another one up in under 48 hours.

They should still take that site down, with such a legit appearing url address, cz is hurting itself by letting it stay up, pretty crappy from cz to not do much about them.  You don't see such things for other gun companies

Every legit business I'm familiar with has folks whose full time job is to protect and enforce their patents and trademarks and copyrights, as failing to do so can void those rights, privileges, and protections in at least some legal jurisdictions.

YMMV.

I’m just curious….. everyone says CZ should sue or get the site taken down. Just how do you sue an entity in Russia or China, or ……….. I’m sure CZ USA doesn’t like it, but it’s the world wide web. Not the laws of the USA web. Just sayin……. We can’t even get telemarketers to stop targeting the elderly ( now AI is being used to mimick voices), how can they ( the gov. Or even private entities) stop rogue websites?

I would think you work with domain registrars, which are basically the nonprofit orgs that govern .com, .net, .org, etc., non-country-specific extensions.

Generally speaking, blatant criminal activity is verboten and reason for the dark web.  Not a lawyer, but such that are experts in this subject know how to do so expeditiously.

And seriously, someone like Colt who sells their name to put it on all sorts of nonsense like Russian Barnaul Silver Bear knows how to play this game worldwide.

This problem is everywhere. I'm in the market for a new mountain bike, and I bet 25% of the sites I'm finding are fake.

I was thinking the same thing, the real cz can prove pretty easily this one isn't legit.  I don't expect them to stop them all, but with such a legit looking name, people get scammed way easier
