Mediawebshop.nl: domain name claim through court or UDRP?

Domain names are registered on ‘first come, first served’ basis. This created a new phenomenon called: domain name hijacking. Quickly register domain names with names of famous people or famous brands with the aim of selling them for a lot of money. To stop this, the UDRP was invented, a quick and cheap procedure to reclaim a domain name. The UDRP is still very popular, but sometimes not the best route in a conflict, as became clear by the case of .

The plaintiff and defendant have worked together for years. When parties separate, turmoil arises over the domain name. The defendant produces all kinds of WhatsApp messages from the past (that he had to record the domain name) and about the troubles regarding to the termination of the cooperation. According to him, the plaintiff’s claim is not based on the truth at all. The UDRP dispute resolver is clear. This conflict has nothing to do with domain name hijacking, but the disentanglement of a cooperation. It ‘s a commercial dispute with complex facts. So a case for the judge. The case is therefore not taken into consideration.

About Abcor

Abcor specializes in applying for trademark and design rights. We do this worldwide for both SMEs and international companies, but often everything starts with an initial Benelux application. Our aim is to relieve the client of all the worries, which is why we take care of all the steps, from initial advice on what to apply for and how, right through to registration.

In addition to applying for trademarks, we also manage portfolios for our clients. We ensure that trademarks are renewed on time, that the right organizations are paid (given the many fraudulent companies), and we support our clients on issues.

In addition, we are sparring partners for our customers on new products and how to shape and claim new ideas.
