[QUOTE="Andrew Allemann, post: 2259531"] [B]What happens when two trademarks are at issue in a UDRP?[/B] National Arbitration Forum panelist Sandra J. Franklin has declined to transfer the domain name NikeGoogle.com to sporting goods company Nike in an interesting UDRP. I’ve often wondered what ends up happening when a company wins a UDRP for a domain that includes their brand and that of another. It happens from time to time, and it seems a bit odd. Isn’t the winning company kind of cybersquatting on the other brand at that point? In the UDRP for NikeGoogle.com, panelist Franklin [URL='http://www.udrpsearch.com/naf/1679233']took exception[/URL] to a request by Google for Nike to transfer the domain to it after completing the UDRP: [INDENT] The Panel notes that there are two trademarks at issue in the instant case: NIKE and GOOGLE. However, Google, Inc. has not been joined as a party, and thus has not provided any information asserting rights in the GOOGLE mark in this proceeding.

Further, Google, Inc. consents to the relief requested in the Complaint (i.e., the transfer of the subject domain name to NIKE).” However, an email attached to the Complaint as an exhibit indicates that Google requested that Respondent transfer the to Google in return for up to $100 in reimbursement for out-of-pocket registration fees.
