PFIP, LLC (“Complainant”), represented by Teresa C. Tucker of Grossman, Tucker, Perreault & Pfleger PLLC, New Hampshire, has been found guilty of Reverse Domain Name hijacking in a UDRP decision on the domain name judgmentfree.com
The one member panel of David E. Sorkin found RDNH even though the domain holder didn’t even file a response and therefore didn’t even ask for a RDNH finding.
Here are the relevant facts and findings:
“PFIP uses various marks in connection with this business, including JUDGMENT FREE; JUDGMENT FREE ZONE; and PLANET FITNESS, THE JUDGEMENT FREE ZONE.
