Wikimedia Foundation,a non-profit charitable organization submitted a complaint with the WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center requesting the domain names wikipeadia.com and wikipediia.com to be transferred to them.
Wikimedia says that the disputed domain names are confusingly similar to its "Wikipedia" mark.
Kevo Ouz,the respondent in this case seems to have been using the domain names in bad faith.
"Respondent is using the domain names at issue to resolve to web sites—sites bearing Complainant’s own logo—at which links to commercial entities, many of which are Complainant’s competitors, are listed. Respondent is obviously deriving income from such links on a pay-per-click basis, which constitutes both bad faith registration and use."
More interesting is the fact that the respondent seems to have been involved in two other similar cases."Moreover, previous panels found at least two other domain names registered by Respondent to be identical or confusingly similar to another entity’s trademark: Nike, Inc. v. Online Marketing Realty c/o Young Jin, NAF Claim No. 0713839 (transfer of <nikestore.com>) and Movado LLC v. Online Marketing Realty"
Therefore the Panel decided the disputed domain names to transferred from the respondent to the complainant.
