Priceline Bids Against Cybersquatter


Priceline.com, Inc., the discount travel-related website, won a Uniform Dispute Resolution Policy ("UDRP") action to recover the domain name www.pricenline.com. The UDRP panel found that Priceline had strong rights in the mark PRICELINE.COM through its federal trademark registration. The panel further found that the domain name, www.pricenline.com was confusingly similar to the PRICELINE.COM mark. Finally, the panel found that the registrant of the domain name had acted in bad faith where it had a history of such misconduct and had used the domain name to divert web users looking for Priceline's website. Thus, the panel ordered the domain name transferred to Priceline.
