Domain Name Wire, SAP, the multinational software company, lost a domain name dispute against UniSAP, a provider of SAP consulting services. The dispute was resolved by a panel at the WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center. In SAP AG v. UniSAP, Inc., No. D2009-0297, the disputed domain name was unisap.com. The WIPO Panel found that (1) the disputed domain name is confusingly similar to the complainant’s trademark, but (2) the complainant failed to show that the respondent lacks rights in the disputed domain, and (3) the complainant provided little or no evidence that the respondent registered the domain in bad faith.
