Default Indian Generic Domains Being Hijacked

Thanks to a2zofb2b over at NamePros and other forums, we have warning of a potential threat to people holding valuable generic Indian domain names.

http://www.namepros.com/domain-name-...generic+indian

Quote:
Here is the list of generic names lost in INDRP Dispute Decisions
jobs.in
web.in
business.in
internet.in
isp.in
computer.in
hotels.in


In the JOBS.IN Case the Complainant (Jagdish Purohit of Indiapress.org) Claims that he holds Trademark for “Jobs” and has applied for Service mark due to his usage of subdomain name Jobs.in.Indiapress.org

In the HOTELS.IN Case the complainant (DirectI Parent company of Skenzo.com the Paid Parking program) claims Hotels.in has been monitorzing using parked program and that they have right to the name because they have HOTEL.IN.DirectI.com subdomain and Hotel.IN
Its like the pot calling the kettle black and winning the case.

The entire list of domains lost in dispute can be seen here

Most are genuine, but I do not agree with the resolution of generic domain names.

Absoultely.

Looks like this is far from being a .in problem alone. .eu may soon be having similar problems:
