Reverse Domain Name Hijacking


A unanimous 3-person panel, appointed by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), has found that UpTerra attempted Reverse Domain Name Hijacking of this domain name, where you’ve landed. This means using the Uniform Domain-Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP) in bad faith and attempting to deprive a registered domain-name holder (that’d be us) of a domain name.

To quote the panel, “The Domain Name was registered … more than eleven years before the Complainant’s trademark was registered…. The evidence also strongly suggests that the Complainant attempted to use the UDRP process for leverage after failing to acquire the domain name through negotiation.” And so we were forced to spend thousands of dollars to defend our rights to this domain.
