Are These The Worst 7 Domains Someone Has Filed a UDRP On?

September 23, 2013 by Michael Berkens

The luxury Jeweler Van Cleef & Arpels filed a UDRP on 7 of the worst domain names you will ever see.

Obviously there must be something going on well beyond the domain names themselves, but on a domain name basis all of these are brutal.

This maybe the best case for owning a registry, as all sort of ridiculous domains are registered everyday and at the end of the day the registry wins.

Here is the list:

    Perhaps in domainer terms, the domains are brutal. However in SEO terms, they may be exact match searches. It would depend on how much traffic is being lost from searches of these terms and if that could be quantified in monetary terms. Perhaps the profit from one lost sale could cover all these UDRPs.

    Besides SEO as mentioned which I agree with, they also have a duty to protect their mark especially if the domains are being misused. They are completely justified for going after these domain names and should. If anyone uses any form of van-cleef-and-arpels with or without dashes they are in violation. They do have a famous mark and they have a team of lawyers hired to protect it. Long as there is no RDNH, they are well within their rights to keep the Internet clean of anybody using or misusing their name in any way shape or form.

    If they get any traffic, it’s likely incredibly (incredibly) low. There are sites out there that infringe on Apple’s copyrights… and they’ve been ignored for some time by Apple. I would have ignored these as well. They’ve only gained attention by being brought to light by the UDRP process. (And then, only to a very small community who follows this sort of thing.)

    No company out there is immune to this sort of thing, and the infinite number of possible domain names one could imagine like this obscure sampling, would be an endless waste of time and resources to pursue.

    this is where the version of udrp comes in – just take them away for a few hundred bucks – albeit the lawyers still get their 7500 or so – yes
    b-r-I-a-n (with dashes rick)

    Hmm, could this be the equivalent of pest control companies ‘introducing’ termites or other bugs to a house they’re inspecting? Unscrupulous lawyers (or their friends or ’employees’ overseas) registering trademarked name variations, and then charging the poor infringed-upon company thousands of dollars to have them removed? It would be a great racket.

    (I know, I hate conspiracy theories, too.)
