It is a one million name, agreed.
FMA didn't develop it, why did they refuse an offer?

that's disgraceful, holding domains for profit when real companies want to use them

I looked up some pics on Google. I must say, the man looks of Jewish descent... and Kaplan is a Jewish name.
Hitler's favorite airline!?!? Are they insane?

maybe forgetting parking altogether is best, i am dveeloping more and more as every day goes on More Here
I am as well. The case (I read most of it) was simply stomach churning. Very sad-but evidently the original decision was overturned. Can anyone verify that for sure, so we all know?

I suspect the WIPO decision has not been overturned - just that the name stays with the owner until the outcome of the pending court case is decided.

I thought the other way.

As John B mentioned, FMA filed suit prior to the UDRP decision. Apparently it
got a court order to keep the registration despite the subsequent UDRP thing.
Besides, it states in UDRP that court decisions take precedence over them.

I do not understand why all LL.COMs are not trademarked as a brands unto themselves. Surely, it would be easier to put a website online and the trademark the name. It seems a lot more cost effective than fighting in court after somebody tries to hijack the name.

A Trademark must be tied to a
SPECIFIC Good or Service, not just a name....
