Massive legal victory for GoDaddy!
GoDaddy pulled a surprising victory against the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, today, in a decision that dispelled a $30 million lawsuit against the domain registrar.
The cybersquatting case lasted more than five years, and a judge ruled in GoDaddy’s favor.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, District Court Judge Andre Birotte Jr. decided there’s a lack of proof that GoDaddy had a bad faith intent to traffic in trademarks like the “Academy Awards” and “Oscars.”
