[Random-bits] UDRP: ASTROCARTOGRAPHY.COM

[James Love]

While I have identified several UDRP decisions where generic names are
taken away and given to people who have trademarks on the use of a
particular generic name, not all decisions have this result.   

In this complaint, the National Arbitration Forum 3 member panel
rejected the transfer of Astrocartography.com, on the grounds that it
was a generic name, even though the complainant, Ron Mahka, had a US
service mark on Astro*Carto*Graphy.
