The Volkswagen Beetle, a very popular car back in the day.

Volkswagen was formed in 1937, in Nazi Germany, and the group owns and manages a very famous mark in the automotive industry.

Despite all this history, a not-so-smart individual from Canada registered the domain Volkswagen.company in July.

It took a couple of months for Volkswagen to find out, and they filed a UDRP at the WIPO, asking for the domain to be transferred.

If only all UDRP cases were as clear-cut as this one; the domain was thus ordered to be transferred to the Complainant.
