The general counsel of domain name registrar Epik has helped the previous owner of patterns.com win the domain back through a UDRP.

As stated by the dispute, Cosmic Patterns Software, Inc. used the domain for its astrological software services for over twenty years. It claims the domain was stolen in November 2020 “via a deception perpetrated on the Complainant’s registrar.”

Still, historical Whois records show that the domain was at Network Solutions, not Epik, ahead of the alleged theft. Rob Monster, CEO of Epik, told Reglike that the Complainant engaged Epik’s DNProtect.com service to regain control of the domain. Epik funded the legal work of the UDRP on a contingency basis.

National Arbitration Forum panelist Dawn Osborne found in favor of Cosmic Patterns Software and ordered the domain transferred.
