French company wanted the .com to go with its .fr domain name.
John Berryhill has successfully defended the domain name Kosmos.com on behalf of Sahar Sarid’s company Ashanti PLC.
Complainant Kosmos SAS is an education technology company that uses the domain name Kosmos.fr.
It incorporated on April 3, 1998. The domain name was registered the following day (not by Ashanti, which acquired the domain later).
The complainant never bothered to inquire about buying Kosmos.com until it was ready to enter the North American market in 2014. At that point, it tried to buy the domain name but was unhappy with the asking price. It told Ashanti’s broker that “We still maintain the offer and would be really happy if one day it holds your attention”.
