Soctch Tape Sticks Cybersquatter


The 3M Company recently succeeded in a cybersquatting arbitration to recover the domain name www.scotchtape.info. The 3M Company owns a federal trademark registration for SCOTCH for use in connection with tape. The arbitration panel found that the domain name was confusingly similar when it completely incorporated 3M's SCOTCH mark plus the generic word tape. The panel also found that the domain name had been used in bad faith to display a website featuring sponsored link ads. Thus, the panel ordered the domain name transferred to 3M.
