NFL Rookie of the Year Saquon Barkley Files UDRP (Updated)

New York Giants star Running Back Saquon Barkley won the NFL’s Rookie of the Year award this year. Barkley was the #2 draft pick in the 2018 NFL Draft (behind Baker Mayfield) after graduating from Penn State University. According to the World Intellectual Property website, a LLC that appears to be related to Saquon Barkley filed a UDRP against the SaquonBarkley.com domain name. It is WIPO case #D2019-0269.

SaquonBarkley.com was registered back in December of 2014. From what I can see on CBSSports.com, it looks like the domain name was originally registered before Barkley became a star football player at Penn State – perhaps even before he played at PSU. The domain name appears to be registered to an entity in New York.

When I visited the domain name to see how it is being used today, I was forwarded to Barkley’s Instagram page. Archive.org shows the domain name had previously been forwarding do a different website.

The UDRP was filed by Saquon Barkley SRQB, LLC. I can only assume the domain registrant is not affiliated with Mr. Barkley, hence the UDRP filing. I will keep an eye on this UDRP filing, but I would bet the NFL Rookie of the Year will prevail.

Update: The decision won’t be posted until tomorrow, but it looks like Saquon Barkley won the UDRP.
