A UDRP was filed at the World Intellectual Property Organization involving the valuable 4 letter GLOO.com domain name. The UDRP filing is listed on the WIPO website as case is WIPO Case D2017-0606.

GLOO.com (or perhaps simply Gloo.com because it is considered a pronounceable 4 letter domain name) was created in 1998. The domain name’s Whois record had privacy on it until very recently, and perhaps the privacy was removed because of the UDRP. With the privacy removed, I can see the domain name is registered to an entity in Great Britain. Using DomainTools’ handy Whois History Tool, I can see historical Whois records dating back to 2005. In the earliest record in 2005, it appears that the same entity owned the domain name. It is very possible the registrant owned it longer and perhaps even back in 1998 when the domain name was created. We’ll have to wait and see the decision to learn more about the ownership.

When I visited Gloo.com, I saw a notice that the owner put the domain name up for sale recently.  Here’s an excerpt from the Gloo.com home page:

I saw an interesting UDRP filing I want to share with you. A UDRP was filed at the World Intellectual Property Organization involving Fenwicks.com. The case is WIPO Case D2017-0579.

Fenwicks.com was registered in October of 1996, making this domain name more than 20 years old. The domain name appears to be privately registered until just recently, with privacy being removed likely because of the UDRP filing. Now that the Whois record is no longer private, I see that the domain name is registered to a registrant called Fenwick Associates. It appears that the last name of the person associated with this entity is Fenwick.

I used DomainTools Whois History Tool to see how long this entity was the registrant of the domain name. The first archived Whois record for this domain name is 2001. The registrant? Fenwick Associates. It looks like the same registrant has owned it since at least 2001 and almost certainly even longer. In fact, an Archive.org record from 1998 shows

A UDRP has been filed against  LDW.com, a  valuable three letter .com domain. The UDRP was filed at the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), and it is WIPO case #D2017-0430. The complainant in this case is listed as LDW Software, LLC.

LDW.com is currently registered to a domain registrant with an address in China. From a DomainTools Whois History search, it looks like this registrant has owned the domain name since August of 2015. Prior to that, the domain name was briefly registered to a Gmail address, and it was privately registered prior to that.

Up through mid-2014,

According to UDRPSearch.com, a UDRP has been filed against the valuable 4 letter Lago.com domain name. The UDRP was filed at the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), and it is WIPO case D2017-0206.

Lago.com was created over 20 years ago, in May of 1995. The Whois information for Lago.com is currently private. Using DomainTools Whois history search, I see that the domain name was registered to an entity called Lago Advisors, LLC back in 2012 before it went private. Despite the privacy protection on the Whois, I could still see the name of the registrant  through mid 2015, and the same owner was listed. It is possible that the same entity still owns the domain name, although the Whois information is currently private and I don’t know.

When I visited Lago.com this morning, I see a standard GoDaddy landing page. Using Archive.org, I can see that Lago.com had been used in the past by a company that had Lago in its name. A Screenshots.com entry from mid-2016 shows a password protected WordPress page on Lago.com.

The UDRP was filed by an entity called
