This is from DomainGang's report on WorkForce.com URDP case.
Although the 1994 registered domain name remains with the respondent, it is interesting to note that the three member panel found under Policy 4(a)(i) that the domain name Workforce.com is confusingly similar to the complainant's Workforce Software trademark, invoking a precedent where the respondent (proscloset.com) dropped the article "the" from THE PROS CLOSET mark.
It looks to me that only using the domain name for bona fide service offerings saved the respondent from a 4(a)(ii) no legitimate interests or 4(a)(iii) bad faith finding in this case, as they have published Workforce Magazine both in print and digital.
