Reveel.com stays with mystery owner.
A UDRP panel has denied a cybersquatting complaint filed against the owners of Reveel.com. The owner of the domain didn’t register it in bad faith, as it was registered before the complainants had rights in the mark Reveel.
The case (pdf) is interesting for a couple of reasons.
First, the respondent claims that the complainant, Tip Vy Spots LLC Vy, doesn’t exist.
The respondent, which uses Dynadot whois privacy, declined to identify itself in the case. It said it shouldn’t have to identify itself to a non-existent entity that filed a frivolous case.
Second, panelist Richard Lyon found the complainant to have engaged in reverse domain name hijacking. The other two panelists, Michael Albert and Barbara Solomon, didn’t consider reverse domain name hijacking.
