 | Christmas Typo squatting! | |
 | | |
| While AFNIC was incorporated into the long, local Register series that had accepted the universal procedure about Resolution of litigations (UDRP), where the majority extensions will be accessible like the first that arrives will be the first in attention and the engines in the searching are more and more important, all that is in the middle in relation with the economical level of “cyber squatting”, seems less present into public opinion However, the present facts prove this plague still prevail. They take as eyepiece the most famous wizard in the world without any doubt! “Harry Potter.com” and all that comes from it are properly registered and administered by Warner Bros Inc society and it is the owner of eponym mark. For the Scottish author who creates the little wizard adventures, the problem is different. Her personal site “JK Rowling.com” is maintained by her literary agent. No doubt, he doesn’t know the American customs about sagacity into name registers inside the American society, he was a “typo squatting” victim. The method consists in registering the domain name almost identical to the “official” name, but with an intentional typing mistake, they hope the user types fast the name and be in another Web site. They use the user confusion. They propose him competing services or even complete different services. This happens with “KJKRowling.com”. The first “K” is useless, but it is put next to J in the majority of keyboards, the probability of Harry Potter’s fans arrive by accident to this site are very big. The strict application of UDRP method allowed that Mrs. Rowling suppresses this name from the domain, the OMPI declared “ the procedure has already used in other matters by the Registrant, the personality that means JKRowling and the fact that the site KJKRowling.com were radically different from the original site” were enough. They confirmed that the last name had been registered with bad intentions and it should be suppressed. Beyond the “phenomenon” that Harry Potter character is in this festivity period, this matter is interesting because it shows that domain names even stir up the covetousness. But it should incite the mark owners or well known names to have the vigilance advantage. It isn’t always enough to register the same domain name in several extensions: it is convenient from now to think about the most common “typing mistakes”, the double consonants. Without lacking attention, the supplementary combinations given by names in international circuits (IDNs)! Rather than ever, The Register Counsel is essential.
