RDNH Decision D2013-1656

The WIPO domain name dispute case D2013-1656 involved a conflict over the domain name between Aero Club of New Delhi, India, and Domain Admin – DomainGrabber.com of Dallas, Texas, USA. The domain name was registered in 1999 and connected to a parking page with advertising links. Aero Club, operating under the “Woodland” brand, contended that the domain name was identical to its trademark, asserting that the respondent registered and used it in bad faith. However, the panel found that Aero Club’s claim lacked substantial evidence regarding the international fame of its trademark as of 1999, particularly in the USA, where the respondent was based. Ultimately, the complaint was denied, and the case was not declared as Reverse Domain Name Hijacking.
