Globeway LLC v. Domain Administrator / Vertical Axis Inc. Claim Number: FA1407001571651
Globeway LLC of West Virgina was just found guilty of Reverse Domain Name Hijacking (RDNH) on the domain name Globleway.com
The domain is owned by Vertical Axis Inc. who was represented by Ari Goldberger and Jason Schaeffer of Esqwire.com
The three member panel of Nathalie Dreyfus, G. Gervaise Davis and The Honorable Neil Anthony Brown rejected Globeway argument that they had common law rights to the term Globeway which they claimed they established earlier this year.
The company was just incorporated in Delaware on January 28, 2014.
“”Vertical Axis Inc acquired the domain “between June 25 and June 27 2005, nearly 4 years after its original registration on April 11, 2001 and nearly 10 years before Complainant made any use of the alleged mark.”
On August 21, 2014, following the submission of the response on August 18, 2014, Claimant informally requested that the pending proceeding be withdrawn. As revealed in email correspondences between Complainant and a NAF Case Coordinator, Complainant’s reason for requesting a withdrawal was because, as stated “new information has come to light and circumstances have changed.” Complainant thereby requests to “let the respondent enjoy the fruits of having the Globeway.com domain name.”
