UDRP Files Against Two Letter Domain Name SM.net

May 12, 2013 by Michael Berkens

A UDRP was just filed yesterday the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) on the domain name SM.net

The domain name is owned by a M.A. Stenzel (info@topname.com) of  Kahului, Hawaii and has been owned by him since at least 2003 but could go as far back as 1999.

The domain name is parked and not surprisingly goes to a page full of adult links as S & M is well known as being an abbreviation for Sadomasochism, but actually stands according to Wikipedia.org, for a ton of topics outside of the adult world as well.

The complaint was filed by Fundación Santa María-Ediciones SM, out of Madrid, whose official site seems to be fundacion-sm.com which was first registered in 2006.

We will watch this one.
