Against $19k expired domain Bespoke.com. Is it the former owner? — UDRP filed

Valuable domain name expired earlier this year and now faces UDRP.

The domain name Bespoke.com expired in May. It went through the entire expiration cycle, making it one of the best domain names to fully expire this year.

A bidder at DropCatch.com paid $18,805 to purchase the domain name.

Now that buyer is being forced to defend the generic domain in a UDRP, and it might be against the firm that let the domain name expire.

Bespoke Services Group S.A. filed a UDRP against the domain name, and it’s possible that the complainant is the firm that let the domain name expire earlier this year. The prior registrant of the domain name was listed as Bespoke Services Corporation SA, and they had a contact email @bspk.com.

BSPK.com was previously registered to Bespoke Travel Atelier in Russia. A Google search for Bespoke Services Group S.A. shows that it operates from Russia.

BSPK.com also expired regarding the time Bespoke.com did. It’s possible it didn’t get renewal notices since its email services were turned off.

I have reached out to the owner of Bespoke.com to learn more. The owner states it appears it’s the firm that let it expire.
