Country:                 |  Country names I'm curious to know about any WIPO cases where official country names (not cities, towns etc.) were challenged in a UDRP and if there are any successful awards of that domain to the government of the respective country.

Country:   | http://www.wipo.int/amc/en/domains/d...002-00270.html Wasn't contested though. http://www.wipo.int/amc/en/domains/d...2002-0754.html This one they didn't win - also proven was reverse domain hijacking! Last edited by jasdon11; 08-27-2009 at 11:39 AM.. Reason: Automerged Doublepost |

I have heard that the United Arab Emerates consider all domains referring to their contingent their property (stuff like UAE, etc).

DNF$: 10 Location: San Diego   | Generally speaking, I can't see how a country name could ever be the proper subject of a UDRP loss. Even the uncontested one seems wrong to me.

Country:  | When all the restrictions on .be were lifted the Belgian State forgot to reserve belgique.be & belgie.be, they only had belgium.be. I think it took them some time to get the names back from a Dutch company through dispute resolution... Switzerland has experienced something very similar. I think geodomains are risky when you happen to own the country name in its own TLD... in gTLDs like .com it's another story - gTLDs are no man's land namespace.
