The Lowdown



March 20, 2008 Post

Here's the The Lowdown from DNJournal.com! Updated daily to fill you in on the latest buzz going around the domain name industry!

Compiled by Ron Jackson (Editor/Publisher)

 

Register.com has lost a UDRP case the company filed in an attempt to take the generic domain name Register.cc away from another registrar, DomainIt.com. DomainIt founder Paul

Paul Goldstone
DomainIt.com

Goldstone said, "Based on the history, facts, and evidence we felt confident that the panel would rule in our favor and we're very pleased with their decision. While we were obviously interested in preserving our own domain name, we were also concerned with the precedence a negative decision in this case could have had for other generic domain name holders. We were surprised by the dispute to begin with, but we now hope to move forward in the friendly-competitive relationship that registrars generally have with each other. Such a relationship is rare in many industries, but has become a standard in the domain business and that's something we wish to preserve."

The panel made the right decision in this case and Goldstone deserves credit for taking on the considerable expense of defending his rights to the domain - rights that were very clearly articulated by Goldstone's attorney John Berryhill. Goldstone's company has been using Register.cc in the domain

registration business before Register.com was even incorporated. All of the details are in the decision published here. It makes for very interesting and instructive reading.
