Domain name attorney Doug Isenberg of GigaLaw discusses a case involving the domain name juu1vapor.com under the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP). The domain name contains the number "1" instead of the letter "L", making it visually similar to the Complainant's JUUL trademark. The Respondent used the domain name in connection with a website offering unauthorized Juul products for sale. As Doug explains in the video, the UDRP wrote that the use of the number "1" instead of the letter "L" was "insufficient to distinguish the juu1vapor.com domain name from Complainant's JUUL trademark for the purposes of [the UDRP]."
