Marlboro Files UDRP Complaint for Marlboro-Online.biz Domain

Marlboro has recently filed a UDRP complaint at the National Arbitration Forum,asserting legal rights over Marlboro-Online.biz domain name .

Marlboro owns many trademark registrations for the “Marlboro ” mark all over the world.Therefore,it is more than obvious that the disputed domain name is confusingly similar to its trademark.

The company filed the complaint with the National Arbitration Forum in February,2014.

According to whois records, the domain name was first registered in May,2013.

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

The case is still pending compliance checks with the National Arbitration Forum.
