An arbitrator with the National Arbitration Forum has awarded Microsoft AnswerBing.com and BlogsBing.com domain names to Microsoft. All started when Microsoft filed a complaint with the National Arbitration Forum,asserting legal rights over the disputed domain names.
It is well known that Microsoft owns the Bing search engine.Moreover,Microsoft owns many trademark registration for the "Bing" mark all over the world.Therefore,they contended in the complaint that the disputed domain names are confusingly similar to its trademark.
Moreover,they contended that the respondent registered and used the disputed domain names in bad faith.
"Respondent’s <answerbing.com> and <blogsbing.com> domain names resolve to websites that feature hyperlinks unrelated to Complainant’s business and a commercial search engine that does compete with Complainant’s business. Due to the fact that the disputed domain names are confusingly similar to Complainant’s mark, Internet users will likely become confused as to Complainant’s affiliation with the disputed domain name, resolving website, search engine services, and unrelated, click-through hyperlinks. "
The Panel ordered the disputed domain names be transferred from the respondent to the complainant.Source from Domain News
