GoDaddy loses first UDRP from Marchex portfolio buyout

No one responded to the dispute.

GoDaddy has lost its first UDRP from the portfolio it purchased from Marchex in April.

The firm didn’t respond to a UDRP filed by Dairyland Midwest, Inc. d/b/a AgVision for the domain name AgVision.com.

When the UDRP was filed last month, World Intellectual Property Organization sent a notice of the dispute to all contacts on the domain name. That included an @archeo.com email address as well as [email protected]. Although the latter email address appears to be a typo, it’s also owned by the NameFind subsidiary.

The name was listed for sale for $5,199.

GoDaddy is no stranger to being on the receiving end of UDRPs, but it’s been a while. It lost a bunch of cases when it was running its Standard Tactics firm to pick up expiring domains.
