The UDRP against the domain Datapath.net demonstrates how some domain investors attempt to bullshit their way through valid trademark claims.
A British company, Datapath Limited, has rights in the DATAPATH mark for graphics cards, capture cards, and video wall controllers. Their trademark registration predates the commercial Internet, circa 1993. The company operates from Datapath.co.uk and they offered $2,000 dollars via Sedo to get the .net.
The Pakistan-based Respondent asked for $20,000 dollars, claiming that they have already accumulated a large amount of expenses for alleged development. Stating that, while putting the domain up for sale at Sedo somehow doesn’t resonate truthful vibes. Sedo is not a provider of “free banners” either, as the Respondent claimed.
