FirstShowing.com UDRP Fails to .net Desired Outcome

The owner of FirstShowing.net filed a UDRP complaint against the registrant of FirstShowing.com, contending that the domain name had been registered in bad faith.  (click here)  In a case where the Complainant sought to use the .net version of a domain name to acquire the more commercial .com extension, the Panel found that, “[the] evidence does not indicate that Respondent registered the disputed domain name primarily for the purpose of selling, renting, or otherwise transferring the domain name registration to Complainant or to a competitor of Complainant.”   The Complainant also failed to submit sufficient evidence from which the Panel could conclude that the Complainant had trademark rights in the domain name at the time that the Respondent registered the domain.  Lewis & Hand represented the Respondent.

  2. It is a shame that people can't go through divorces in the same state of mind that they enter into marriages in. Family Lawyers or, as they are often referred to, Divorce Lawyers often end up seeing the very worst side of people. While marriage seems to bring out all the loving and hopeful emotions people feel, divorce brings out all the hateful,divorce lawyers Boynton Beach, hurtful emotions that people try to hide from the world most of the time.
