Paris Hilton Upset Regarding Cybersquatters

Paris Hilton Upset Regarding Cybersquatters

Hotel heiress asks WIPO for help getting domain names.

Paris HiltonParis Hilton has filed two separate arbitration cases at World Intellectual Property Organization to get control of domain names that include her name.

The first case was filed by Paris Hilton Entertainment, Inc. on August 12 to get the domain name paris-hilton-perfume.net. The domain name right now does not resolve. The owner of this domain name may have by now capitulated, as the case has been dropped. Still, the whois appears to have changed to an entity unrelated to Hilton, so it will be interesting to see what the circumstances are.

The second case was filed by Hilton the very next day for ParisHiltonHeiress.com, which is registered by Fresh Delhi man. The domain name resolves to a parked page.
