Sony,one of the leading manufacturers of electronics, video, communications, video game consoles, and information technology products,submitted a complaint to the National Arbitration Forum,claiming rights over sonycreativesoftwear.com domain name.
Having registered the "Sony" mark with the USPTO,Sony proved that the domain name sonycreativesoftwear.com was confusingly similar to its mark.
Moreover,because the respondent failed to submit a response,the Panel found that Versata Software had no rights and legitimate interests in the disputed domain name.
The Panel also decided the domain name was registered and used in bad faith.
Therefore,it was decided the disputed domain name,sonycreativesoftwear.com,to be transferred to Sony.
