  • An arbitrator with the WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center has awarded Apple nine domain names :applemudic.com, applemusoc.com, applenusic.com, applwmusic.com, appplemusic.com, wwapplemusic.com, wwwapplemusic.com, wwwipodlounge.com and wwwlapplemusic.com . The company filed a complaint on April 19,2012,asserting legal rights over the disputed domain names .Apple owns many trademark registration all over the world for the "Apple" mark.Therefore,it is more than obvious that the disputed domain names are confusingly similar to its trademark.Moreover,the company contended and managed to demonstrate that the respondent registered and used the disputed domain names in bad faith.

             "Respondent registered (and has used) the apple Domain Names with a view to ensnaring Internet users who made simple mistakes, typing one of the apple Domain Names into their browsers instead of the expression “Apple Music”. The Respondent’s registration and use of the apple Domain Names is fairly typical of the practice of “typo squatting”, which UDRP panels have routinely regarded as compelling evidence of bad faith registration and use."

            "There is no obvious connection between any of the apple Domain Names and the commercial website to which they have resolved. In the absence of any explanation from the Respondent for its choice of the apple Domain Names, the Panel can only sensibly conclude that the Respondent must have been deriving some financial gain for linking the apple Domain Names to the gambling website "

           The Panel ordered the disputed domain names to be transferred from the respondent to the complainant.
