Motorola loses motorazr.com battle

Published in: eLaw & Management

Motorola has lost a battle to gain control of the domain name motorazr.com because it failed to prove when it started using the term Moto Razr. The domain name will be kept by its US owner R3 Media. Out-Law.com reports that in a domain name dispute resolution process overseen by the Arbitration and Mediation Centre of the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO), Motorola attempted to win control of motorazr.com, a site carrying news and adverts relating to mobile phones. Motorola said that R3 Media acted in bad faith when it registered the domain name in 2004 and that the site is being used to generate advertising revenue by association with it.Full Out-Law.com report
