RDNH Case D2017-123

The WIPO domain name dispute case D2017-1235 involved a complaint by Paola Stephania Ornelas Magaña and Irma Michelle Ornelas Magaña against Media Insight regarding the domain names goldenparnassuscancun.com and greatparnassuscancun.com. The complainants, operating resorts in Cancun, Mexico, accused Media Insight of confusingly similar domain names to their trademarks. However, Media Insight, a travel package provider with a long business relationship with the complainants, used the domain names for promoting travel packages to these resorts. The WIPO panel denied the complaint and declared it an instance of reverse domain name hijacking, citing non-disclosure of critical facts by the complainants and their longstanding business relationship with the respondent. The decision was made on September 6, 2017, by a panel consisting of Christopher J. Pibus, Luis C. Schmidt, and The Hon Neil Brown Q.C.
