Hands Over VAX.com Domain Name — WIPO Panel

Three letter domain won through UDRP.

World Intellectual Property Organization panelist J. Nelson Landry has ordered the VAX.com domain name be transferred to floor care products firm Vax Limited.

Landry noted that the term VAX was a “coined term”, and didn’t consider the potential that it was a generic acronym.

That stated, the respondent didn’t do himself any favors. Not only did he fail to respond to the proceedings, but he’s also lost 11 UDRP decisions in the past two years.

I found 69 cases handled by Landry since 2003. He found in favor of the complainant in all but one case.
