Three UDRP decisions involve big brands.
Google has won the domain name GoogleBooks.com through the UDRP domain name arbitration process at National Arbitration Forum. The domain name was being used by someone promoting the internet marketing product “Google Nemesis”. The owner registered the domain name back in 2004.
Google, of course, wanted the domain name for its Google Books product at books.google.com.
In a separate decision, Major League Baseball’s Kansas City Royals won the domain name RoyalsBaseball.com. The team already owns Royals.com. The domain name was pointing to a parked page featuring baseball and Royals links. Given how poorly the Royals are playing this season, this is a rare win for the team.
Finally, as a follow up to Domain Name Wire’s earlier article, celebrity chef Rachael Ray has won a typo of her name, RachealRay.com. The domain name was pointing to a parked page.
There’s one extremly stupid thing about most ICANN decisions.
US isn’t only country in the world. And yeah, it has own ccTLD.
There were lots of decisions about domain names equal or similar to some company.
For example my company for offline biz has name “Project advisor s.r.o.”. S.r.o. is equal to LTD.
Company operates in Slovakia. Have I right to take projectadvisor.com from someone when I even don’t have my ccTLD domain of that name?
I bet that there’s atleast 50 companies round the world with that name.
If they won it in arbitration…that means they should be able to pay Billy Butler.Nah…he’ll be the Yankee DH/ back-up 1B in 2012.
