Perhaps Law School Admission Council needs to go back to law school.
The organization behind the LSAT test students take to get into law school has lost three cybersquatting claims against LSAT tutors.
Law School Admission Council, Inc. filed the disputes under the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP) against various tutoring services that prepare students for the tests.
In each case, the UDRP panelist noted that the domains qualify as “fair use” or that the registrants have rights or legitimate interests in the domain names.
In the first case, panelist Nicholas Smith denied a transfer for lsatdoctor.com, lsat911.org, and lsatdr.com.
Smith also denied the transfer of masterlsat.com in a subsequent case involving a different tutor.
And, in a tersely written decision, panelist David S. Safran denied a case against thelsatgenius.com.
Bucking the trend, the organization won a case against lsatexperts.com. In that case, the domain resolved to a login screen with the LSAT logo and no further context. The owner of that domain didn’t respond to the dispute.
Nyemaster Goode, P.C. represented Law School Admission Council, Inc. in the disputes.
