Apple targets itunes.co.uk domain
As recently reported in the press, Nominet have received a formal
complaint from technology company Apple relating to the itunes.co.uk
domain name, which was registered by Benjamin Cohen, managing
director of CyberBritain Holdings, on 7th November 2000. Apple
claims an entitlement to the domain, but some are of the opinion
that their chances are slim.
"iTunes" was only published in the Trade Marks Journal
on 6th December, 2000, after the domain name had already been
registered. Mr Cohen allegedly had no idea that Apple was intending
to build the iTunes service at the time of his registration, and
claims that he has been making legitimate use of the domain since
registration. CyberBritain has until 30th December to present
evidence to Nominet. Apple then has the right to reply and Nominet's
decision should follow in February.
J K Rowling domain decision
The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) has ruled in
favour of J K Rowling, the author of the Harry Potter books,
regarding the ownership of www-jkrowling.com and kjkrowling.com.
Alvaro Collazo, registered the domains in May of this year, and
pointed them to a parking page that generated a multitude of pop-up
advertisements when browsed.
