An arbitrator with the National Arbitration Forum has awarded the domain name Yahootar.com to Yahoo! .The company submitted a complaint to the National Arbitration Forum on March 5,2012,asserting legal rights over the disputed domain name.

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

Moreover,Yahoo! contended in the complain and also managed to demonstrate that the respondent registered and used the disputed domain name in bad faith :

"Respondent registered and is using the domain name for the purpose of disrupting Complainant’s business.  Respondent uses the goodwill of Complainant’s YAHOO! mark to divert Internet traffic meant for Complainant’s websites to Respondent’s own news and information-related websites."

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