| Very nice find and read.
finding that the respondent made no use of the domain name or website that connects with the domain name, and that [failure to make an active use] of a domain name permits an inference of registration and use in bad faith."
This could be damning and damaging.
...failure to make active use...
I am not sure that this is a good decision or bad decision - that is why I have read this twice.
The respondent contends that Deacom, Inc is the name of his business yet his WHOIS never included Deacom, Inc.
Personally, I wonder if he submitted evidence to or simply stated that he had a business.
The complainant showed that their TM first use was 1995 as well as Deacom, Inc.
Respondent has not used the domain for any DEACOM-related business throughout the past year, but rather as a “transference site.” New term for parked page or redirections?
From my take, this is why it is imperative that if you are going to be in domaining, form an LLC or something and use that name in all your Contact info.
Most of all, I guess I better use my name as a site rather than an email like he did.
