ABG.com UDRP

According to the World Intellectual Property (WIPO) website, a UDRP has been filed on the three letter ABG.com domain name. The complainant in this case is a company called ABG Packaging Corp. The case is WIPO Case D2015-1751.

ABG.com is currently registered to a company called CSC Corporate Domains, Inc. I am not sure if CSC owns ABG.com on its own or if it owns the domain name on behalf of a client. At the time of publication, ABG.com does not resolve to any website. The domain name has a creation date of May 15, 2000, although it had likely been registered before that date.

The domain name had been listed for sale for quite some time via

Camilla.com Subject of UDRP (Updated)

Camilla.com has become the subject of a UDRP proceeding. The complaint was filed at the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), and the complainant is listed as Camilla Australia Pty Ltd. The UDRP is WIPO Case D2015-1593.

The Camilla.com domain name is owned by Mrs Jello, LLC, the company founded by Igal Lichtman, who passed away in 2013. It  looks like Mrs. Jello LLC has owned Camilla.com for quite some time. In fact, Michael Berkens at TheDomains.com wrote about the sale of Camilla.com in May of 2009. The domain name sold at NameJet auction for $16,100. In the article, it was noted that

Another UDRP has been filed on what appears to me to be a descriptive keyword domain name. According to the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) UDRP database, a UDRP was filed on the Areas.com domain name. The UDRP is WIPO Case D2015-1482.

The complainant in this UDRP is listed as AREAS, S.A. Whois records show that Areas.com is registered to a person (or maybe an entity) with an address in Spain. Historical Whois records seem to show that the domain name has been registered to the

I was looking through the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) website this afternoon, and I found what look to be two troubling UDRP filings. WIPO Case D2015-1469 is a UDRP for the three letter IEC.com domain name. WIPO Case D2015-1470 is a UDRP for the two letter WI.com domain name. Both of these domain names are clearly high value assets.

The registrant for IEC.com is listed as IEC Communications Ltd. The domain name has an under construction message at the top of the landing page with PPC links below. The complainant in this case is listed as IEC – International Electrotechnical Commission.

The registrant for WI.com is

Sign an Agreement Prior to Negotiating

Domain sale negotiations can be a bit risky. I think two of the biggest potential pitfalls include 1) a prospective buyer using the negotiations in a UDRP or legal proceeding or 2) a buyer failing to follow through with an accepted offer.

I think a creative  way that could reduce the risks is to have the prospective buyer sign an agreement prior to negotiating to buy a domain name. The agreement would list the terms and conditions of making an offer and discussing an acquisition.  When you receive an offer to buy a domain name or an inquiry about a domain name, you can tell the prospective buyer that you require an agreement to be signed prior to negotiating the sale of a domain name.

I would obviously speak with an attorney to have an agreement such as this drafted, and some of the terms I would want to include in the agreement would be the following (along with my rationale):

UDRP Filed on MusicMaker.com, a 1996 Registration

I was looking through the recent UDRP filings at the World Intellectual Property Organization, and I saw that a UDRP was filed on MusicMaker.com. The case is WIPO Case D2015-1216, and the complainant is listed as MAGIX Software GmbH.

Whois records show that MusicMaker.com has a registration date of November 11, 1996. The current registrant of MusicMaker.com is listed as The Music Connection with a Virgina address. I did a historical Whois search using DomainTools, and the earliest Whois record the company has for this domain name is November of 2000, and the registrant is the same company that owns it today. I presume this company was also the registrant prior to 2000, but DomainTools doesn’t have archived records prior to this 2000 record.

At the time of publication, MusicMaker.com resolves to
