URS
The dot .Shop TLD might be fresh out of the ICANN furnace, but already two domains have been hit with a URS.
Footlocker.Shop, a domain registered in recent weeks, was served with a URS process – the fast-paced procedure designed with trademark holders in mind.
As we saw in another dot .Shop case, a valid word mark is needed to proceed using the URS, while figurative marks don’t make the cut.
In the case of Footlocker.Shop, the Complainant is Foot Locker Retail, Inc of New York, NY.
The Complainant is a premium retailer of athletic footwear, apparel and related goods and services in the United States. They operate from the domain Footlocker.com.
According to the URS:
“Foot Locker owns all rights, title, and interest in and to the well-known and incontestable FOOT LOCKER marks (U.S. Reg. Nos. 3810824 and 1126857), registered in the United States Patent and Trademark Office and other countries worldwide (the “Marks”). Complainant currently uses the Marks in commerce through the world. “
Darryl C. Wilso, panelist, determined that the domain should be suspended for the remaining duration of its registration.
