Henry – yes, I’ve seen a handful of lawsuits filed after UDRPs, and part of that is the original respondent challenging the trademark.

Just a thought. Is it legally possible to challenge the trademark after the fact since it’s the basis for filing the domain arbitration?

Maybe the fear of losing their mark on a generic term entirely may be enough to give them pause. They will think twice before initiating one.

“home away from home” is a common term that almost everyone has probably used at least once in their life to refer to somewhere they like. Frank should get to keep this domain.

We are only at the beginning of this trend.
It will only stop after all of the low hanging fruit has been picked and we are gone.

Then, major companies will start going after each other. We are already seeing this happen. (search DNW)

It amuses me to see how companies stoop low to capture running websites and do a reverse domain name hijacking just because they have battery of lawyers to go after generic domain name owners. Domain name squatting is one thing, reverse domain name hijacking is not becoming just as serious problem!

I hope WIPO takes a wise decision on this one!

Thx

There is a new vacation rentals website where you can book a vacation rental directly by owner.
Have a look at http://www.holidaysbyowner.com
It is pretty nice,although they seem to be at the beginning.

That Frankie is one sharp dude. Not only do I marvel at the quality of his selections every time one comes to public attention like this. EVERY name is defenseble. That’s the difference when one makes informed buying decisions.
