In this case study video, I discuss a decision under the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP) in which the panel found an abbreviation of a trademark in a domain name to be confusingly similar to the trademark. The case involved the domain name <brs.contact> and the trademark BOURSORAMA.

In this case study video, I discuss the only decision under the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP) that involved a single-character domain name: <b.mw.> (Dot-mw is the country-code top-level domain, ccTLD, for Malawi.)

In this video excerpt of my presentation from a recent continuing learning education (CLE) event, I explain why the number of domain name disputes filed by trademark owners during the coronavirus pandemic has soared.

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, it looks like domain name disputes are on-track for another record year, as I report in the newest issue (Q1 2021) of GigaLaw’s Domain Dispute Digest.

In this case study video, I discuss a bold example of typosquatting, in which the bank Wells Fargo filed a complaint against the domain name <weiisfarg0.com> (two letters “L” in the trademark have been replaced by the letter “I,” and the letter “O” has been replaced by the numeral zero).

In this case study video, I explain how the word "mail" in a domain name plus active MX (mail exchange) records helped a trademark owner win a case against a cybersquatter under the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP).

In this case study video, I explain how a reseller, distributor, or service provider may be able to use another company's trademark in its domain name without violating the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP). In the UDRP case I discuss, Sub-Zero lost a case against the registrant of the domain name <CentricSubZeroRepair.com>.

In this domain name lesson video, I talk about a letter that one of my clients received in the mail requesting payment of a $228 fee for an “annual website domain listing on Internet directory” — a fee my client was confused about whether it needed to pay to maintain its domain name registration.

In this case study video, attorney Doug Isenberg of GigaLaw explains how Nike filed and lost a dispute over a domain name that consisted solely of the word “Nike.” The case is a good lesson for trademark owners trying to decide whether to file a complaint under the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP).

In this case study video, attorney Doug Isenberg of GigaLaw explains how Priceline won a dispute under the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP) for the domain name <fuckpriceline.com>. As Doug explains in the video, there’s obviously no shortage of criticism on the Internet, and sometimes that criticism takes place on a website using a domain name that consists of a company’s name plus a pejorative word. But not all such domain names are protected as so-called “gripe sites,” which is exactly what happened in the Priceline case.
