DomainInvesting:
Yesterday afternoon, I noticed a UDRP was filed against the high value, one word, Mahogany.com domain name. Because the UDRP was filed at the NAF, the complainant was not publicly known. There are hundreds of companies that have the word Mahogany as part of their branding, and in addition, there are many companies that sell mahogany, a popular high-end type of timber.
It was pointed out to me on Twitter that Rob Monster posted a copy of the notice he received regarding this UDRP since Mahogany.com is registered at Epik.
... In his tweet, Rob was advocating on behalf of his client because mahogany is (in his opinion and in my opinion) a generic term. I do not recall ever seeing a CEO of a registrar advocating on behalf of a client against a UDRP filing like this before.
( @Acroplex pointed: Interesting timing. Hallmark applied for the registration of MAHOGANY with the USPTO earlier in April, with an intent to use clause ..)
