Another day and another complaint filed against a generic term.
In this case its the NameAdministration owned domain name ColdFront.com that was hit with a UDRP complaint filed with The National Arbitration forum (NAB).
According to DomainTools.com, the domain name has been owned by Name Administration since at least 2003.
The domain name is generic of course and even has its own Wikipedia entry.
There are 9 live trademarks for the term “cold front” in the USPTO including by Land O’Lakes, Inc. (2011); Cold Front Distribution, LLC LIMITED (2010); Personally Cool LLC LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY (2009); Main Street Accessories, Inc. (2009); WILCHAM INDUSTRIES INC (2008); Coldfront, LLC Randy Snow-U.S.A. LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY (2006) and SUNDAWN INC. CORPORATION of CANADA (1989).
The domain is parked but has very general links, nothing going to brands or products.
Look for another Reverse Domain Name Hijacking (RDNH) finding after Mr. Berryhill gets done with them and a new poster child for the Domain King at RicksBlog.com
incredibly generic and a stupid scam to challenge him on it or anyone on any generic
Completely ridiculous. This certainly does look like a new poster boy for reverse domain hijacking. Sad to see but looking forward to a big poster with their face on it at the next TRAFFIC 🙂
Just FYI, the complainant is the LLC which was formed in 2009.
What a Scam
Go get them John
