Elephant.com prevails

Adam Dicker recently prevailed in a WIPO decision against the British insurer with the elephant.co.uk domain name, Admiral Insurance Services. This was clearly a case of reverse-domain hijacking by a sizable insurer.

Dicker showed his brilliance not only with winning this case, but also buying this domain in the first place. Apparently Dicker bought the domain for only $22,500. He offered to listen to Admiral Insurance Services’ offers for the domain–if they were over $1M.
