A bunch of Yoyo Email UDRPs were decided at the Czech Arbitration Court

There’s no slowing down Yoyo Email Ltd., as far as UDRP cases are concerned.

The British company has yet to reveal its business model to the public, but has managed to break the record for the most UDRP cases brought against a single entity, in one year.

More than two dozen domains were adjudicated – and lost – in 2014; the new year started with four Complainants decided in one roll, and yet, this record has already been shattered.

Deciding on the fate of 9 domains brought against Yoyo Email Ltd. by 8 Complainants at the Czech Arbitration Court, the single panelist Lada Válková was called to decide on the following domains:

LOGITECH.EMAIL, AUTOTRADER.EMAIL, RYANAIR.EMAIL, DAILYMAIL.EMAIL, WOWCHER.EMAIL, THISISMONEY.EMAIL, SAVILLS.EMAIL, REDLETTERDAYS.EMAIL, OXFAM.EMAIL

All these domains are corporate names, brands or trademarks and there is nothing that Yoyo Email Ltd. could have said to convince us otherwise.

The panelist was clear about this:

“There is no dispute that each of the Domain Names comprises the entirety of a word mark or the word element of a trade mark in combination with the <.email> TLD. […] Each of the Domain Names is clearly confusingly similar to the corresponding trade mark in which one of the Complaints has trade mark rights. […]

This case is one in what is now a long line of cases involving a the Respondent’s deliberate registration of thousands of domain names that comprise a third party trade mark together with the <.email> gTLD. The Panel held that such activity was not in connection with a “bona fide” offering of services”

Nine domains were thus ordered to be transferred to their respective Complainants. For the full text of this UDRP decision, click here.
