Slow learners: The Snugg is regarding to lose its 2nd UDRP

Firm files case against Roy Messer’s Snug.com.

iPad case maker lost a UDRP for Snugg.com last year. Now it is going following Snugg.com, a case it ought to lose for the same reason: Snug.com was registered in 1999. Some people just don’t get it.

Consider Charon International Trading Limited, makers of The Snugg iPad cases.

The firm owns TheSnugg.com, and desperately wants a shorter domain.

So in February it filed a UDRP against the owner of Snugg.com. The UDRP was dead on arrival since the firm just registered its trademark in 2011 and the owner of the domain registered the domain in 1999. The owner of the domain didn’t even respond to the case and still won.

Undeterred, the firm has now filed a UDRP against long time domain investor Roy Messer for his domain Snug.com.

I’m serious. You can’t make this stuff up.

Like Snugg.com, Snug.com was registered in 1999.

In the last case the panel didn’t find Charon International guilty of reverse domain name hijacking. Hopefully this time around they will, as now the firm has no excuse for filing a case like this.
