UDRP Filed Against Generic Domain Name: InteriorDesign.com

A UDRP has just been filed against a great a generic domain name InteriorDesign.com

The domain name is owned according to whois by a P. A. Gordon 1270 of  Guam, who lists as his email address getaway@getaway.com

Getaway.com seems to be used as a travel site, however the domain in question goes to a Sedo parked page.

The complainant is not yet listed and a quick check of the USPTO did not find a match for a trademark for either “interior design” or interiordesign.com

The domain name has an original registration date of 1997 and has been owned according to DomainTools.com by the current owner since at least 2000.

Would seem like a clear case of Reverse Domain Name Hijacking and is a prime example of why implementing the URS policy to .com’s is a horrible idea.
