Re: Mercury Interactive buys mercury.com domain name for $1.1m

I suggest you read nhn.com thread in Legal forum:

As is quite usual - the defendant tried to prevent NHN Corporation overreaching mark by changing use of the domain.

The defendant was doing nothing illegal with the domain.

Even Dan said, "Would I have ruled against them if I were a panelist? Probably not, as the intials have inherent legitimate uses up the wazoo."

This is the *absolute crux* of the matter.

The Complainant KNEW that "the intials have inherent legitimate uses up the wazoo".

They even offered $50,000 for the Domain Name.

That did not work - so they then tried corrupt UN WIPO's UDRP - and succeeded.

Some intelligent people on the forum have trouble in understanding what the *absolute crux* is ;-)
