Facebook files complaint over Facebook.info domain name

Facebook has recently filed a complaint with the WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center,asserting legal rights over Facebook.info domain name.

Facebook should  expect the WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center order the domain name to be transferred,considering the company owns the “Facebook” mark .

The WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center will examine if the domain name is confusingly similar to the trademarked name.Moreover,it will examine if the owner of the domain name has rights over it and if the domain is being used in bad faith.Facebook.info domain name will be passed over to Facebook if it falls under all three of these stipulations.

According to whois records the domain name was first registered in 2004.

The case is still pending compliance checks with the WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center .
