Company that uses Voys.nl tried to get Voys.com through a UDRP.
A Dutch telecom company has been found to have engaged in reverse domain name hijacking for bringing a cybersquatting complaint against the owner of Voys.com.
A three-person World Intellectual Property Organization panel determinedthat it filed its case in abuse of the policy. Among other things, Voys B.V. failed to mention three overtures made by the company or its representatives to buy Voys.com before filing the UDRP.
The panel took particular offense to Voys B.V.’s allegation that:
The domain name voys.com has never been used by Respondent after its registration. Since 2007, this domain name is even offered for sale. A copy of the webpage is provided as Annex 6. From this, it is evident that Respondent does not have a legitimate interest in the domain name voys.com.
