AOLmail.co Among First .Co Domains Hit with UDRP — DreamHost.co and

Trademark owners go following their names on .co.

A dozen firms have filed 13 .co domain name arbitration disputes since the relaunch of .co as a a generic domain name.

The most recent UDRP filing was for Dreamhost.co by the owner of the sizable web host DreamHost.com. This is a somewhat surprising case given that surely a web host was aware of the release of .co domains.

Other firms have also filed cases. AOL wants aolmail.co and L.A. Fitness is going following lafitness.co. Other firms filing complaints include:

Akbank Turk A.S.
Linode, LLC
Karl Storz GmbH & Co. KG
Barry’s Ticket Service, Inc.
Dormeuil Freres
Tilda Limited
Rautaruukki Oyj
Spa Esprit Group Franchise Pte Ltd

.Co domains are subject to a UDRP procedure similar to .com, except that only World Intellectual Property Organization right now hears the cases.
