It's the same guy/company that was running <openoffice2009.com>, <openoffice-gratuit.com>, <openoffice09fr.com>, <openoffice-fr.com>, <openoffice-pt.com>, <openoffice-pl.com>, and <openoffice-nl.com> Those domains are now owned by Sun Microsystems: http://domains.adrforum.com/domains/decisions/1293581.htm <quote> FINDINGS Complainant, Sun Microsystems, Inc., markets and sells computer hardware, computer software, network computing equipment, and related services. Complainant has used the OPENOFFICE.ORG mark in connection with computer software and related goods and services. Complainant holds multiple trademark registrations with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) for its OPENOFFICE.ORG (Reg. No. 3,063,339 issued February 28, 2006). Respondent registered the <openoffice2009.com>, <openoffice-gratuit.com>, <openoffice09fr.com>, <openoffice-fr.com>, <openoffice-pt.com>, <openoffice-pl.com>, and <openoffice-nl.com> domain names no earlier than August 18, 2009. The disputed domain names all resolve to similar websites in different languages. The resolving websites contain information about Complainant’s computer software and offer a free software download. When an Internet user clicks to download the software, a pop-up ad appears requiring the Internet user to send a text message to receive a code to download the software. Respondent receives a fee from the text. ... DECISION Having established all three elements required under the ICANN Policy, the Panel concludes that relief shall be GRANTED. Accordingly, it is Ordered that the <openoffice2009.com>, <openoffice-gratuit.com>, <openoffice09fr.com>, <openoffice-fr.com>, <openoffice-pt.com>, <openoffice-pl.com>, and <openoffice-nl.com> domain names be TRANSFERRED from Respondent to Complainant. </quote> It's good to see Sun going after these guys. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
