Apple has won control of the iPhone5.com domain after filing a complaint with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) earlier.

According to the WIPO website, the domain has now been "terminated." The domain now belongs to the brand protection agency

Corporation Service Company, which is thought to be working on behalf of Apple to take ownership of the domain, The Next Web reported.

The iPhone5.com domain, registered in 2008, previously housed a discussion forum about the fictional iPhone 5 that was full of ads. As of earlier this month, there were only four discussions with several dozen comments, with the most-recent comments concerning whether or

not Apple should have control over iPhone5.com.

The move to secure iPhone5.com does not necessarily mean Apple is planning to name its next-generation smartphone the iPhone 5. The company nixed its numbering system for its third-generation iPad back in March, deciding instead to call the device the new iPad, and it

could do the same with its next smartphone.

Apple already owns the rights to iPhone.com,iPhone4.com,and iPhone4S.com,all of which redirect to Apple.com.Typing in iPhone3GS.

com, however, redirects to c-ellphone.com, while iPhone3G.com lands on an "iPhone 3G Directory" via searchnut.com.

And this is not the first time Apple has turned to WIPO to reclaim Apple-related domains. In November, Cupertino went after porn domains with "iPhone" in the title.

Last year, Apple successfully obtained the apple-downloads.com and apple-oem.com domain names. It also won the rights to appleoslion.com, appleosxlion.com, macoslion.com, macosxleo.com, macosxleon.com, and macosxlion.com. In 2010, it was awarded appl.com and

aplle.com.
