Wes Anderson gets WesAnderson.com domain name in cybersquatting dispute — Film director

Domain name was registered to someone in Los Angeles.

Wes Anderson, director of films such as Bottle Rocket, Rushmore and The Royal Tenenbaums, has won a cybersquatting dispute for the domain name WesAnderson.com.

The domain name was registered by someone who had a parked page on it. The page also noted that the domain name was for sale with an asking price of $10,000.

The owner of the domain name did not respond to the dispute that Anderson filed with World Intellectual Property Organization.

Although Anderson does not right now have a federally-registered trademark for his name, he successfully argued that he has common law rights in Wes Anderson.
