Canadian court orders firm pay costs over wrongful domain claim

George Kirikos gets big court victory; judge orders defendant pay costs.

A Canadian court has ordered Micys Firm pay $4,512.45 to George Kirikos’(Leap of Faith Financial Services Inc stemming from a UDRP it filed against the domain name Pupa.com.

Micys filed a UDRP against Pupa.com last year with World Intellectual Property Forum. Micys runs the site Pupa.it, where it sells cosmetics and fashion accessories.

Kirikos decided to sue Micys in Canadian court, which halted the UDRP proceedings.

The court determined that Leap of Faith Financial Services Inc. is the rightful owner of the domain and that Micys must pay costs associated with the lawsuit.

Leap was represented by Zak Muscovitch in the UDRP and
Torys LLP in the court action.
