SLIDETV(R).com, Inc. today declared victory in its domain name dispute with Slide, Inc. in what has been described as a modern day David vs. Goliath story. The Redwood City, California-based internet marketing company now plans to turn the drama into a feature film called SLIDETV - THE MOVIE.
SLIDETV.com, Inc., the owner of the domain, declined the solicitation stating that the domain name was not for sale.
In April 2008, it was discovered that a company named Slide, Inc was behind the solicitation. By that time, SLIDETV.com, Inc. had already filed a trademark for the term SLIDETV(R) and registered more than 128 related domain names using SLIDETV as part of the company's long-term strategy to launch a network of more than 300 infotainment marketing portals.
Slide, Inc. persisted in its requests and, over a period of several weeks, representatives from the company sent a series of emails in an unsuccessful attempt to purchase the domain names. On June 24, 2008, Slide, Inc. filed a complaint with ICANN under the Uniform Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP). The case was accepted by the National Arbitration Forum (NAF) based in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
