A company filed a UDRP against Enpowered.com at the National Arbitration Forum (NAF), and the three member panel ruled in favor of the registrant. The domain name has been owned by a domain investor, and the investor was represented in the UDRP by attorney Zak Muscovitch.
Although the panel did not rule that the filing was a case of Reverse Domain Name Hijacking (RDNH), I think there is a notable excerpt from the UDRP that may be helpful to domain investors responding to future UDRP filings:
A UDRP was filed against the high value Gen.com domain name. The UDRP was filed at the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). This UDRP is WIPO case #D2020-0811. I spotted the UDRP filing on UDRPSearch.com.
The 2020 Summer Olympics were scheduled to be held in Tokyo, Japan later on this Summer. Because of the COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak, the Olympic games were postponed to 2021. According to UDRPSearch.com, three UDRPs were filed against domain names with Tokyo2021 in them. The three UDRPs were filed at the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). UDRP proceedings were filed against:
A UDRP was filed against the generic one word Joking.com domain name at the National Arbitration Forum (NAF) today. The case can be found via UDRPSearch.com (confirmed on the NAF website), and it is case #1890577. You will note that this article is being published on April 2, so it is not an April Fool’s Day joke.
Joking.com was created in January of 1997, making it over 23 years old. The domain name is currently registered under privacy proxy at Name.com. At the time of publication, Joking.com does not resolve to an active website of any sort.
In my morning DomainTools Registrant Alert email, I noticed that Facebook and Instagram registered hundreds of domain names related to the COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak. All of the domain names I noticed on the list of new registrations are related to its brands and branding (Facebook, Instagram, FB, and IG) as opposed to being generic CV-related domain names. DomainTools showed that more than 500 Facebook / Instagram domain names were registered in total.
Here’s a quick look at ten of the newly registered domain names to give an idea of what Facebook decided to register:
A UDRP has been filed against the valuable 3 letter PRU.com domain name. The UDRP was filed at the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), and it is case #D2020-0714. The UDRP was filed by The Prudential Insurance Company of America.
PRU.com was registered over 22 years ago in 1997. The domain name is currently registered under privacy proxy at GoDaddy, so the registrant is not publicly known at this time. When I visited PRU.com this morning, I saw that the domain name resolves to a default GoDaddy landing page. The domain name appears to have been for sale via Sedo at some point in the last several years. I do not see any public sales history for this domain name on NameBio.
