RDNH Case D2018-0782

The WIPO case D2018-0782 involved Pret A Manger (Europe) Limited as the complainant and Prettogo LLC as the respondent, with the disputed domain name being “prettogo.com.” The complainant, an international sandwich shop and café chain, claimed that the domain name was confusingly similar to its trademark “PRET” and “PRET A MANAGER.” The respondent, based in the UAE, argued the uniqueness of its “PRET TO GO” trademark and its independent operation. The case, presided over by sole panelist John Swinson, was decided on June 11, 2018, resulting in the complaint being denied. The complainant’s trademark infringement claims had previously been upheld in UAE courts, but this did not extend to the domain name dispute under WIPO’s policy.
