- An arbitrator with the National Arbitration Forum has recently awarded the domain name YahooCrwaler.com to Yahoo .The company submitted a complaint with the National Arbitration Forum on August 30,2012 ,asserting legal rights over the disputed domain name . 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 bad faith,by trying to sell them the domain name for $50,000 .Moreover,this is not the first time when the respondent has infringed Yahoo's mark.The respondent has previously registered Ya-hoo.us ,as well as other domains containing well-known marks,such as Bing,Apple,Google,Microsoft and many others. 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.
