FC Barcelona win Domains

Before the tribunal of the World Intellectual Property Organization, the Spanish club FC Barcelona has been suing for the domains fcbarcelona.net and fcbarcelona.org.

FC Barcelona is one of the best-known and most-successful clubs not just in Spain but also Europe-wide. The team centered around superstar Ronaldinho are currently in the final of the European Champions League. The name of the current Spanish champions is protected in Spain by various trademark registrations and also by European Community Trademarks.

During the legal action, the Spanish domain owner made no statement regarding his domains. The tribunal ordered the transfer of the domains.

Sports decision and other UDRP news

Fonzie and all,
