Allianz SE vs. Domain Admin, Whois protection / Domain Administrator, Radio plus, spol.s r.o.: WIPO Case D2017-2277

In WIPO case D2017-2277, Allianz SE, a German financial services company, filed a complaint against the registrants of “agcs.com,” Domain Admin, Whois protection, and Radio plus, spol.s r.o., based in the Czech Republic. The complaint, filed on November 16, 2017, was centered around the domain name “agcs.com,” registered by the respondents on May 31, 2010. Allianz SE claimed rights in the AGCS acronym, associated with its subsidiary Allianz Global Corporate & Specialty SE. However, the complaint was denied due to insufficient evidence of bad faith registration or use by the respondents, as the domain name was registered before Allianz SE established rights in the AGCS mark. The decision also included a finding of reverse domain name hijacking against Allianz SE, indicating the complaint was brought in bad faith.
