UDRP Filed On Two Letter .Org: RT.Org

February 19, 2013 by Michael Berkens

A two letter .Org domain name has just been hit with a UDRP.

The domain name is RT.Org

The domain is owned by Alexa Properties, LLC and goes to a Sedo parked page.

The complaint was filed by The Restored Church of God whose site is at RCG.org

The complainant,  The Restored Church of God has a trademark on the term, The Restored Church of God which was filed in 2008.

The complainant The Restored Church of God also filed for two trademarks for the term RCG in 2011.

The domain name has been owned by the current holder since at least January 2012.

There does not appear to be any links to the trademark holder on the domain name, or anything religious oriented.

RT is not close to RCG in any way so we have no idea of what the TM holder is thinking about and the fact that it’s a church, well there is that whole commandment about stealing.

We will be following this case and will let you know once a decision has been reached.

    At first I had thought Twitter filed a UDRP for RT as “ReTweet”, which would have been ridiculous, but this is shameful.

    Twitter was the first thing that came to mind for me as well.

    As least they would have had an argument to make, not sure about this one

    I was thinking Round Table. Not sure why, maybe I’m just in the mood for pizza.

    Doing a quick view of the church’s website, I found that they put out a magazine called, ‘The Real Truth.’ Perhaps that’s what they want the domain for, but attempting to go about getting it in this manner likely goes against any moral or religious dogma of how they would wish one to act when one wants something.

    I should add that they already own RealTruth.org, so now it seems like they’re just being greedy.

    In Indonesia RT is a huge term. It’s basically an abbreviation for the mayor of each little area. The RT is the dude you gotta talk to for just about everything.
