Wins heavyweight cyber fight — Mike Tyson
Tyson gets domain name MikeTyson.com.
Knock out!
A World Intellectual Property Organization has determined that retired Boxer Mike Tyson ought to get the domain name MikeTyson.com.
The domain name was originally registered in 2001, but it expired in 2004 and was picked up by the current owner. The registrant appears to have gone by the name “In Stealth Mode”, as stated by historical whois records and a former placeholder on the domain name.
The content of the page has changed from time to time but rarely showed much. In 2009 it had a simple contact form. Today it has a black background with “MikeTyson.com” centered on it.
Why it took so long for Tyson to go following the domain name is beyond me. Perhaps he just found out regarding this UDRP procedure, a simple way to file for arbitration on a domain name.
