A court has found in GoDaddy’s favor in a long running cybersquatting battle brought by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. The 128-page decision (pdf) has lots of findings that will be cited in cybersquatting lawsuits for years to come.
Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) is responsible for The Oscars, formally known as the Academy Awards.
It sued GoDaddy in 2010 because GoDaddy customers were registering domain names that allegedly contained AMPAS marks, and these domains were then parked with GoDaddy’s free and paid parking programs. AMPAS thus charged that GoDaddy was violating the Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act (ACPA).
