It owns the plural and was shocked — shocked! — to find someone would use the singular for a manga website.
Let me roll my eyes a bit.
A French company that publishes manga comics online had the audacity to file a cybersquatting complaint against the domain name manga .io.
The Complainant uses the domain name mangas.io, and somehow thought this gave it rights to the singular version of this dictionary word.
To be fair, the Complainant is French, and the French like to claim all sorts of generic trademarks.
The World Intellectual Property Organization panel even granted it the first prong of the complaint (the domain is confusingly similar to a mark in which it has rights).
But the panel found in the domain registrant’s favor on the issue of rights or legitimate interests.
It declined to find reverse domain name hijacking.
Another frivolous UDRP where the respondent had to retain legal counsel out of their own pocket.
