An arbitrator with the National Arbitration Forum has awarded Yahoo,the domain name Maktoob.bz.Yahoo submitted a complaint to the National Arbitration Forum on April 19,2012 ,asserting legal rights over the disputed domain name. Yahoo owns many trademark registrations for the "Maktoob" mark.Therefore,it is more than obvious that the disputed domain name is confusingly similar to its trademark.Moreover,the company contended in the complaint and managed to demonstrate that the respondent registered and used the disputed domain name in bad faith :
"Respondent registered the domain name with the purpose of disrupting Complainant’s business by using the goodwill and fame associated with Complainant’s mark to divert Internet traffic to its own website, which offers online gaming services."
"Respondent makes a profit from its use of the domain name by registering a domain name identical to Complainant’s MAKTOOB mark in order to confuse Internet users and attract them to Respondent’s competing website. "
The respondet failed to submit a response in this proceeding.
The Panel ordered the disputed domain name to be transferred from the respondent to the complainant.
