Founded in 2011 by former Google engineer Steven Yang, Anker Innovations is a Chinese consumer electronics company headquartered in Shenzhen, China.
Initially focused on laptop batteries and chargers sold online, Anker quickly became a global leader in charging technology.
Rebranded as Anker Innovations Ltd. in 2020, the company went public on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange the same year, solidifying its global footprint. Today, Anker’s products are sold in over 100 countries, known for combining quality, affordability, and cutting-edge technology across personal electronics and smart devices.
Not many know that Anker’s original domain name prior to 2015 was iAnker.com.
In February 2015, the company paid $130,000 dollars to upgrade to the more streamlined Anker.com domain, to reduce brand confusion and better reflect its identity. That transaction took place on Sedo.
Since then, cybersquatters are attempting to use the Anker brand by registering domain names that contain the “ANKER” trademark. Anker has filed UDRPs against dozens of domain names, all of which it has won.

Moral of the story: Famous brands often become the target of cybersquatters, that attempt to use a brand’s popularity by posing as representatives at a local level. It’s the responsibility of the brand holder to enforce their trademark by using the UDRP process or by filing lawsuits in some cases.
