Two guys named Jimmy win domain names.
Two Jimmy’s have won domain names through arbitration decisions, but one of the Jimmy’s is a brand and the other one is dead.
In a decision at World Intellectual Property Forum, upscale shoe seller Jimmy Choo won the domain name JimmyChoo.mobi. Perhaps Jimmy Choo wants to sell you $500 shoes while you’re on your phone, or it is just trying to protect its brand.
In another WIPO decision, the estate of late rocker Jim Morrison won the domain jimmorrison.com. We wrote about this case back in March.
Here are some other recently decided domain name arbitration cases:
– Pfizer won pfizer.org, viagra.biz, and celebrex.org (Update: DNN reports that Pfizer had previously let some of these domain names expire.)
– Deals site Woot won WootInc.com
– E.T. Browne Drug Co. won Palmers.com
– Symbol Technologies Inc won Symbol.fr
– Rand McNall won TripMaker.com
Here are noteworthy recently filed cases we’ll keep an eye on:
– AIP.com
– Nasdaq filed for nazdaq.com
– Take-Two Interactive Software filed for rockstargames.es

I’m not surprised at all to see that Jimmy Choo wanted JimmyChoo.mobi bad enough to go through WIPO, considering that the mobile Internet is going to be bigger than TV and desktop web combined and .mobi is the only domain extension specifically made for this huge market, plus all the tools that dotMobi offer for the mobile Internet such as DeviceAtlas, Instant Mobilizer, ready.mobi, mobiForge, etc.
