Of NBAZ.xyz defends UDRP brought by American bank — Chinese owner

…but he didn’t use the “four letter acronym domain has value” defense.

The owner of the four letter domain name NBAZ.xyz has successfully defended a cybersquatting complaint filed by National Bank of Arizona.

This is notable for a couple reasons.

First, some people in China are not defending their domain names in disputes, and this is creating a bad precedent. In this case, the owner did defend his domain name.

Second, the respondent did not use the “four letter acronym having value” defense. Instead, he stated he had no knowledge of the bank in Arizona since he is in China, and that he had plans for the domain.

Panelist Douglas Clark denied the UDRP since he stated there was no evidence that the domain was registered in bad faith. Still, he stated the complainant could file another UDRP ought to evidence come to light.
