Brime is a fresh streaming video platform launching this summer. For some reason, the firm thinks it ought to get domain names registered ahead of it existed. The firm uses the domain BrimeLive.com and tried to secure Brime.net and Brime.com through UDRP.

The prior week I wrote regarding how the firm lost a cybersquatting dispute against brime.net, which was registered twenty years ago. Now it has also lost a challenge against Brime.com, registered nearly a decade ago.

In this case, the panel found that the Complainant didn’t even show the domain is confusingly similar to a mark in which it has rights. It only has a pending trademark application.

The majority of the panel found that this is a case of reverse domain name hijacking.

Balch & Bingham LLP represented Brime, LLC in both of the UDRPs.
