Safe-Banking(.com) acquired at premium, lost due to impersonation

Recently Accuity, Inc. filed for a domain name dispute compant (UDRP) before WIPO claiming rights to the domain name <Safe-Banking.com>. A simple look at the domain decision looks like it is a case for bad faith as the current website had the same content and design as visible in archives here.

Visit the January 2022 archive here and Mid-2018 archive here:

The interesting thing to note is that the Domain Name was acquired at a premium from Godaddy Expired Domains for USD $625. The domain registrant could have retained it otherwise for sale, rather than indulging in impersonation.

Decision Update: 

Hence the Panelist Lynda M. Braun in the UDRP matter of <Safe-Banking.com> held:

“Panel finds that the Respondent knew that the Complainant had rights in the Mark when registering the Disputed Domain Name. The Respondent used the Disputed Domain Name to resolve to a website identical to that of the Complainant’s original website, making clear that the Respondent was well aware of the Complainant and its SAFE BANKING Mark (having registered it after the Complainant inadvertently allowed it to lapse), thus demonstrating bad faith. Thus, it strains credulity to believe that the Respondent had not known of the Complainant or its SAFE BANKING Mark when registering the Disputed Domain Name”.

Once again raising the question of whether the #UDRP is being misused not to remedy cybersquatting but to facilitate the unjustified seizure of valuable domain names. https://twitter.com/DomainNameWire/status/1621562635450994689

#UDRP #imetpolanski.com (2017) denied. Complainant is film director, actor, and writer. Held Panel finds that Respondent has successfully demonstrated his #website is for the purposes of criticism or “whistleblowing” and not a pretext for #cybersquatting @ https://www.wipo.int/amc/en/domains/decisions/pdf/2022/d2022-4360.pdf

#UDRP #fox.org transfer. No Response filed. Held #trademark is extremely well-known in the United States, the Complainant provides evidence that disputed domain name was utilized in connection with a phishing attempt. Respondent’s use amounts to bad faith. https://www.wipo.int/amc/en/domains/decisions/pdf/2022/d2022-4600.pdf

#UDRP #lordadtaylor.com denied. The Registration agreement is in #Chinese, hence Panelist asked Complainant either to translate the Complaint or explain why Respondent is capable of understanding English. Modified Complaint not to the satisfaction of Panel https://www.adrforum.com/domaindecisions/2024794.htm

#RDNH #lolo.com. Held weakness in complainant’s case does not alone provide a basis for RDNH, however it was brought in a manner that either knowingly or at least negligently misrepresented the factual matrix surrounding the ownership of the #domain name @ https://www.wipo.int/amc/en/domains/decisions/pdf/2022/d2022-3621.pdf
