PR firm filed UDRP after failing to buy domain name.
Joseph Lee bought the domain name for over $10,000 in 2010 with plans to create a game site.
Complainant Hopscotch Group of Paris is a PR company.
The complainant uses the domain name hopscotchgroupe.com and also owns domains like Hopscotch.us and Hopscotch.fr.
Hopscotch Group offered to buy the domain name for $30,000, and filed the UDRP when it wasn’t able to come to terms with the domain name owner.
The panel found that Lee did not register the domain name in bad faith. Even though he didn’t create a game using the domain name, it’s acceptable to buy a generic domain name with an eye toward selling it.
