Wes Anderson, director of films such as Bottle Rocket, Rushmore and The Royal Tenenbaums, has won a cybersquatting dispute for the domain name WesAnderson.com.
The domain name was registered by someone who had a parked page on it. The page also noted that the domain name was for sale with an asking price of $10,000.
The owner of the domain name did not respond to the dispute that Anderson filed with World Intellectual Property Organization.
Although Anderson does not currently have a federally-registered trademark for his name, he successfully argued that he has common law rights in Wes Anderson.
