Common,

Domainers need to get it through their seemingly “thick skulls” that whatever they do they should never move in the direction of another party that may have an interest in a business line similar to the domain name they have.

Trademark and common law isn’t that difficult really, just know that you should never ever had adverts in the same category as that discussed above.

I’d say there is a 99% chance that the domain owner would have retained that domain if they hadn’t had similar adverts to the complainant. Is PPC that valuable to seriously high value domain names given the risk in certain situations?

“I would stop and wonder if the respondent is at fault here”
In normal legal enviroment they would never had a chance to prove the registration was made in bad faith.

The domain was registered in 1993, and after 16 years of domainer care, the domain is just picked up by a serious company for a few bucks.

Honestly, I am really LOL.

I would stop and wonder if the respondent is at fault here. If he hadn’t put a travel site up he wouldn’t have lost the domain. Did he perhaps put it up only because of the hotel research company?

please file court case and recover your domain.
I hope this was your strategy all along, if not you have just been robbed !!

National Arbitration Forum has become a joke.

Class Action action this entity should be the top priority by domain investors.
