Four in one: Yoyo Email Ltd kickstarts 2015 with UDRP quartet

Yoyo Email Ltd., a British company that asserts it has established a viable business model by utilizing corporate names, marks and brands of others, broke UDRP records in 2014, with two dozen cases.

Potentially seeking to secure a spot in the Guinness Book of Records, Yoyo Email Ltd. has kick-started 2015 with a quad of UDRP decisions, all delivered in the same document.

That’s right: why waste precious digital ink, when all four Complainants receive the cookie-cutter response from the Respondent?

The four domains that were handled in this UDRP quartet were:

• lauraashley.email
• silentnight.email
• 3663.email
• specsavers.email

The respective Complainants that filed the UDRP against Yoyo Email Ltd., were Laura Ashley Limited of London, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (“United Kingdom” or “UK”) (“First Complainant”) / Silentnight Group Limited of Lancashire, United Kingdom (“Second Complainant”) / BFS Group Limited of Buckinghamshire, United Kingdom (“Third Complainant”) and Specsavers BV of Huizen, the Netherlands (“Fourth Complainant”) (collectively the “Complainants”) represented by HGF Limited, United Kingdom.

Nicholas Smith, panelist, delivered the news collectively, stating:

“It is clear that the Respondent has registered hundreds of domain names reflecting third party trade marks, including the Complainants’ Marks, as “.email” gTLDs. Therefore, the Respondent has engaged in a pattern of conduct which prevents the owners of those trade marks, including the Complainants, from reflecting their own trade marks in a corresponding “.email” domain name. Such conduct, pursuant to paragraph 4(b)(ii) of the Policy, amounts to registration and use of the Domain Names in bad faith.”
