  • An arbitrator with the National Arbitration Forum has awarded bingwebmaster.com and buscadorbing.net domain names to Microsoft. All started when Microsoft submitted a complaint to the National Arbitration Forum,asserting legal rights
    over the disputed domain name.
    The company owns many trademark registrations for the "Bing" mark.Therefore,they contended that the disputed domain name is confusingly similar to its trademark.Moreover,they contended that the respondent registered and used the disputed domain name in bad faith .

    "Respondent is using the domain name in bad faith because the disputed domain name resolves to a site identical to Complainant’s offering identical services.  The disputed domain does in fact resolve to a site which is apparently attempting to pass itself off as Complainant’s own site."

    "Respondent has registered and used the domain name in bad faith under the circumstances presented.  Respondent’s disputed domain name resolves to a site that is inactive."

    The Panel ordered the disputed domain name be transferred from the respondent to the complainant
