Case Number: D2025-2970
Complainant: TPG Telecom Limited, Australia
Represented by: Bird & Bird, Australia
An Australia-based telecom company, TPG Telecom Limited, has been found guilty of Reverse Domain Name Hijacking in connection with a UDRP it had filed to gain control of the specialty domain tpg.one, owned by a German company, The Platform Group AG.
The sole panelist ruling the case, Nick J. Gardner, at the World Intellectual Property Organization, handed up his ruling against the telecom on October 9, 2025, after finding the complainant failed to do any due-diligence before filing its case, which would have shown the respondent company had a legitimate interest in a domain that is a natural abbreviation for its corporate name.
