Rick Schwartz has followed up on his promise to add Danish company, Knud Jepsen A/S, on HallOfShame.com.
In a monumental case involving the aged domain, Queen.com, the Danish florist lost with a Reverse Domain Name Hijacking finding.
The Queen.com entry on Hall of Shame, a repository of cases involving domains that were unjustly pursued via the UDRP process, reads as follows:
“Knud Jepsen A/S has been found guilty of reverse domain hijacking by a three-member panel of the World Intellectual Property Organization. The company had sought to obtain the domain queen.com for Queen Flowers, a specialty flower company in Denmark. Jepsen, headed by managing director Frands Jepsen, has attorneys file a UDRP against the domain’s owner, Rick Schwartz, in April.”
This appears to be merely the beginning of an upcoming crusade against RDNH aggressors; Rick Schwartz promised to seek monetary damages from Knud Jepsen A/S, which should involve covering his legal costs at a minimum.
