IBM (International Business Machines) has lost a dispute over the IBMS.com domain name. The Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP) complaint was filed with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) after an IBM customer received a phishing email purporting to be from @br. ibms. com. The sender of the email was attempting to obtain the recipient's banking information.
Such actions are certainly bulgaria whatsapp resource grounds for convicting the registrant of the IBMS. com domain of its illegal use, causing damage to the IBM company. However, even a superficial investigation was enough to establish that the registrant of the domain did not send this letter - the registrar company confirmed that the IBMS. com domain name is associated with only one email address, which has been inactive for the past two years. As for the @br. ibms. com address, it appears on many spam lists and is used by botnets.
. However, defendant Mitch Chait provided evidence that his company was incorporated in 2011, IBMS is an acronym for Intelligent Behavior Management System, and the US Patent Office even issued a patent for this system in 2014. Based on all this information, WIPO arbitrator W. Scott Blackmer criticized IBM's complaint, calling it "poorly thought out and executed," Domain Name Wire reports. He dismissed the complaint, noting in his decision that IBM's actions did not meet the criteria for an attempt to reverse a domain name hijacking. But this very mention suggests that IBM's lawyers should be more careful in preparing such appeals in the future.
IBM did not provide any other evidence of illegal use
