analysis Everything About 2-Letter .COM Domain Names

Brilliant breakdown...thanks.

Interesting background info on cm.com

Thanks for the article. I'm surprised it doesn't mention LH.com at all. I vaguely remember it being lost in UDRP and then, I think, going back to the owner, but now I see it's Lufthansa's, so I wonder if they won after all or if they lost and then purchased the name. The information is probably out there somewhere but I hoped it would be mentioned in the post.

Thanks for the article.

Thanks for sharing

Thank you for commenting.

I searched it on DNDisputes.com, WIPO, and ADRForum again and finally found it here. But we included only WIPO cases in the post. Sorry.

Thanks for digging up the udrp document. I think it's pretty rare for a generic domain (I daresay that all 2L and 3L domains are generic by nature) to be lost in front of a 3-member panel, and this one is especially interesting as it features a dissenting opinion by one of the panelist. However IIRC that verdict was challenged before a federal court and I think the domain went back to the original owner, but of that I'm not sure. Of course I'm not asking you to do any more digging, I'm merely bringing it to light as an interesting case. Maybe I'll find something more and post it here.

[edit] found this: https://casetext.com/case/future-media-architects but I'm not fluent in American legal jargon so I'm not yet sure what it signifies (i.e. what actually happened to the udrp and the domain after this order).

[edit2] Ok, here seems to be a full picture: https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/4340827/future-media-architects-inc-v-deutsche-lufthansa-ag/ and it seems that it was ended by settlement, please correct me if I'm wrong.
