RDNH Case D2012-1668

The WIPO domain name dispute case D2012-1668, Tarheel Take-Out, LLC v. Versimedia, Inc., involved the domain name . The complainant, Tarheel Take-Out, LLC, alleged that the domain name was identical to its trademark TAKEOUT.COM. However, the panel found that the complainant did not have sufficient trademark rights to the term “takeout.com,” which was deemed generic or commonly descriptive. The respondent, Versimedia, Inc., had registered the domain name before the complainant’s alleged first use of the term. Consequently, the complaint was denied, and the panel found the complaint to be an attempt at Reverse Domain Name Hijacking, considering the complainant should have known its lack of rights in the term.
