An arbitrator with the National Arbitration Forum has recently awarded the domain name YahooDirectoryListing.com to Yahoo.The company submitted the complaint on Decemerb 6, 2013.

According to whois records, the domain name was first registered in 2010.

Yahoo owns many trademark registrations for the "Yahoo" mark all over the world.Therefore,it is more than obvious that the disputed domain name is confusingly similar with its trademark .Moreover,the company contended in the complaint that the respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in the disputed domain name and that the respondent registered and used the disputed domain name in bad faith .

One of the key points of this complaint was when Yahoo managed to demonstrate that the respondent registered and used the disputed domain name in bad faith,by trying to direct Internet users to a webpage offering for sale counterfeit products .

Yahoo managed to establish all three elements required under the ICANN Policy and the Panel ordered the disputed domain name to be transferred from the respondent to the complainant.
