A World Intellectual Property Organization panel found that an Israeli man should be able to keep the domain name SAP-Microsoft.com. But it was a close call, with the arbitrator finding that he wasn’t quite convinced that the domain name was registered in bad faith.

What?!

This decision makes about as much sense as the LH.com decision, but the other way around. This is clear TM infringement. I think these panelists need more training to apply common sense to the rulings.
