Cut and past error shows Verizon Trademark Services winning CityCard.com UDRP.
We’ve seen a number of UDRP decisions that fall victim to cut-and-paste mistakes. The latest comes courtesy of a National Arbitration Forum panelist who copied the header from his previous UDRP case into the new one.
The new case is Citigroup Inc. v. Yongki over CityCard.com. Citigroup won the case, but you would know it from the header. The header says the case was Verizon Trademark Services LLC v. Kim Jong Su.
Why the mixup? The same panelist on CityCard.com wrote the Verizon decision for verision.com. Apparently he used the same template and forgot to change the header.
Practically speaking this error won’t lead to any sort of problem and will be corrected soon. But it would have been a bigger problem had the panelist accidentally left a different part of the Verizon UDRP intact.
