So what? It's a Trademark Typo? Because it's similar?
They don't even CLAIM RIGHTS TO THE F&CKING NAME.
Hannover Ruckversicherungs-AG v. Ryu, FA 102724
- "spaces are impermissible in domain names"
So they are going with 'confusingly similar' here. Since TheLightBulbStore and The L GhtBulbStore are similar, since domain names can't have spaces. It's a heck of a loophole, but it has precedent.
But you have to remember that having a confusingly similar mark only means that you have to then examine bad faith and fair use.
Which the respondent failed miserably at; that's where the case was truly decided.
This happens all of the time, domain owners putting the weight of the case on TM similarity and registration date, and not giving care to fair use and good faith.
This may be the way it was done in the past, but the UDRP process has evolved, and it can be quite sloppy at times.
The complainant won on a loophole passing the similarity test... and it was a good one.
The registrant should have protected his assets with development.
If in the U.S., every 3 - 6 months.
#1 - do a USPTO search for your domain keywords
#2 - do a TESS search for your domain keywords
If something comes up in either search, prepare for it... because it will come.
