HP Goes on a UDRP Bender

Elliot Silver

7

I was browsing the recently filed UDRP cases at the National Arbitration Foundation, and I noticed quite a few separate UDRP filings containing the Hewlett Packard HP brand in them. It looks like HP decided to go after quite a few “generic” HP-related domain names in the past month or so.

Some of the recent HP UDRP filings at NAF include:

  • HPDrivers.com
  • HPDownloads.com
  • HPUpdates.com
  • HPServices.com
  • HPPrintersSoftware.com
  • HPStorage.com
  • HPShop.com
  • HPInkJet.com
  • HPServer.com
  • HPLaptop.com
  • HPCalculator.com
  • HPInk.com
  • HPDriver.com
  • HPDrivers.org
  • HPMobile.com
  • HPNotebookComputer.com
  • HPNotebook.com

The domain names appear to be owned by many different individuals and companies, and most of them appear to be parked. Not including these recently filed UDRPs, Hewlett-Packard has filed 57 UDRP complaints at NAF. I could not find any filings at the World Intellectual Property Organization.

Free Ticket to Traffic Auction

I just received an email from Rick Latona, who is running an auction tomorrow, and I wanted to pass along his special offer. Rick is offering a free ticket to the Traffic auction in New York to people who are planning to bid on a domain name in his auction (tomorrow at 4:30pm) who don’t already have a ticket to the conference. In the past (and maybe present), tickets to the auction were available for purchase, and Rick Latona is going to cover this expense.

“If you are in New York and promise to bid at the auction and don’t have a ticket to the show, don’t worry. I’ll buy you a ticket! Just ask. We’ll make sure you are in the room and have a paddle if you are shopping for a name.”

I happen to know a couple of people who live in the area but only planned to network at private functions during the conference, so perhaps this will be of interest to them. If you are in the area and want to bid but don’t have a ticket, get in touch with Rick via the contact form on RickLatona.com ASAP.

Below are the names that will be in Rick’s live auction on Tuesday:

i.Biz, TX.biz & NY.biz Among 1 & 2 Letter .Biz Names to be Auctioned

Elliot Silver

A little over a month ago, it was reported that Overstock.com would launch a new website on O.biz, one of the first (maybe the first) websites to operate on a one or two letter .biz domain name. This morning, I received word that Moniker will auction off a number of one and two letter .biz domain names at the upcoming TRAFFIC auction in New York on October 28, 2009.

The .biz domain names that will be in Moniker’s live auction are:

–      i.biz
–      ny.biz
–      ez.biz
–      ok.biz
–      hd.biz

Moniker will also have several names in the extended online auction including:

–      tx.biz
–      hi.biz
–      ha.biz
–      ur.biz
–      lo.biz
–      kc.biz

Other one and two character .biz domain names were recently auctioned, with e.biz achieving the highest sales price, selling for $66,001. Most of the other single character .biz domain names sold primarily in the $5-10,000 range with some higher outliers.

I won’t predict how these auctions will play out, but I hope the registry and Moniker are contacting potential end user buyers. As with any extension, the success is related to customer awareness. A company like Overstock branding and marketing O.biz would be very good for domain investors who own prime names.

Rick Latona Auctions Posts TRAFFIC Auction List

Earlier today, Mike Berkens posted a teaser list of domain names that Moniker will be selling at the Traffic auction later this month, and the list looked fantastic (although the reserve prices need to be posted before determining whether the deals will be good).

I just received an email from David Clements of Rick Latona Auctions, who provided their list of domain names that will be auctioned with prices, and the names are great, too.

There seems to be a significant number of great domain names that haven’t been up for auction before.

End Users Do Shop at Live Domain Auctions

Samsung

Much was made of the inclusion of SmartPhones.com into the RickLatona.com live domain auction at TRAFFIC Silicon Valley. The domain name received the standard domain industry press, and knowing Rick Latona, I am sure there were many end users emailed, called, and notified in other ways (probably some face to face meetings as well).

A competition was held to determine who could guess the selling price before the auction, and guesses ranged from $51,000 all the way to $3,500,000. Eventually the domain name ended up selling at auction for $95,000 – a good price, but less than what many people predicted.

I personally had my doubts about the worth of the domain name. In my opinion, I don’t ever recall referring to any mobile phone – from my first Motorola flip phone to my Blackberry – as a “smart phone.” I also felt the term could become dated when a new generation of phones came out. Because of this, I doubted the domain name would sell for very much.

Well, I was wrong. Thanks to a tip from Brian Null, I saw that the domain name is now owned by Samsung Electronics Co., the electronics giant and maker of smart phones and other mobile phones. Although it doesn’t look like they’ve launched a new website on the domain name yet, they are well positioned to do so.

The next time you are wondering if end users ever shop at domain auctions, you now have your answer. BTW, Rick Latona is still accepting domain submissions for the TRAFFIC auction in October.

Ad:TechAd:tech is an interactive advertising and technology conference and exhibition held several times during the year, in a variety of locations, including New York, Shanghai, San Francisco, Tokyo, Beijing, and other media centers throughout the world. If you are involved in the interactive space, you should make it a priority to attend Ad:Tech – even if you simply opt for the free exhibition floor pass. Ad:Tech New York will be held from November 4-6 at the Javitz Center in New York City.

I just learned that some of the domain industry’s leaders are scheduled to speak on a panel at Ad:Tech New York in November. The Domain Industry Workshop, “Domain Tips to Drive Your Business Forward and Save Money” is sponsored by leading domain investment companies, Sedo.com, Media.net, Name Administration, Inc., and NameMedia, Inc.

Featured panelists include Jeremiah Johnston, COO and General Counsel of Sedo.com, Div Turakhia, Founder and CEO of Media.net, Frank Schilling, Managing Director of Name Administration, Inc, and Bob Mountain, VP of Business Development at NameMedia. This panel will be held on Wednesday, November 4 from 2:10pm – 3:00pm.

If you want to sign up for a free exhibit hall pass, you must do so by October 2, or the price will increase to $35. You can also see all of the conference pricing options for the New York show on the Ad:Tech website.
