A cybersecurity firm has been busted for trying to nab a domain name through a baseless cybersquatting claim.
Israeli company Cyberbit Ltd, a subsidiary of Elbit Systems Limited, has been found to have attempted reverse domain name hijacking over the domain name Cyberbit.com.
A World Intellectual Property Organization panelist came to this conclusion despite the domain name owner, Cyberbit A/S of Denmark, not responding the complaint.
This was either a case of very inept counsel, or an orchestrated case to get a domain name through UDRP that it could not purchase.
Cyberbit applied for a trademark in Israel in 2015. Cyberbit.com was registered well before that.
