Ping.me, GoldenGlobes.com, and NameJet Typo: UDRP Watch

A review of recently filed domain name arbitration cases.

Here’s a quick look at recently filed arbitration cases at WIPO and National Arbitration Forum. Check back for updates as the cases are decided.

Ping.me: Although the domain owner won’t talk, my guess is Ping Golf filed this case. They’ve been aggressive in the past trying to get Ping.net and other domains.

GoldenGlobe(s).com: Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which runs the Golden Globe Awards, is trying to get it hands on the .coms. Its official site is GoldenGlobes.org.

Redbull.mobi: looks like Red Bull wants to put some energy in your pocket.

NameJe.com: eNom and Network Solutions, co-owners of NameJet.com, want to get their hands on this typo.

Arena.com: Arena Distribution, S.A. wants Arena.com. I sure hope this is some sort of doman theft case, otherwise it looks a lot like reverse domain name hijacking.

ISO.mobi: International Organization for Standardization, famous for standards like ISO 9000, apparently has rights to this three character domain. As with Arena.com, I sure hope there’s something I don’t know regarding here.

Universityoftexasatdallas.org: The University of Texas continues to rack up domains through UDRP.

Citibank.ws: a .ws domain dispute? I suppose as a bank you need to cover everything to stop phishing.
