This is the decision that gave J. Crew the rights to crew.com.  

Crew.com was registered by Telepathy, a speculator in domain
names.  It was not being used for a real web page.  J. Crew tried
to buy crew.com, but did not come to terms with Telepathy, and
then used the UDRP to take it away.  Crew is a generic word.  J.
Crew has apparently registered crew as a trademark.   J. Crew
also has jcrew.com for its web page.

The MIT Dictionary Server gives quite a few definitions for Crew:

     Crew Crew (kr?), n. (Zo"ol.)
        The Manx shearwater.

     Crew Crew (kr?), n. From older accrue accession,
     reinforcement, hence, company, crew; the first syllable

               equivalent to ship's company, including master and
               other officers. When the master and other officers
               are excluded, the context always shows it.

CPT agrees with the dissent by panel member G. Gervaise Davis
III:

     We are not legislators, but arbitrators. The majority,
     in an effort to stop a practice that it seems to take
     upon itself to believe is an unstated purpose of the
     ICANN Policy, has completely over-stepped its mandate
     as arbitrators. The decision creates a new and
     unauthorized test out of whole cloth, based on
     assumptions of fact by arbitrators without evidence on
     the subject, instead of using the appropriate and
     carefully crafted three step test for required evidence
     set out by the ICANN Policy and Rules. In my judgment,
     the majority's decision prohibits conduct which was not
     intended to be regulated by the ICANN policy. This
     creates a dangerous and unauthorized situation whereby
     the registration and use of common generic words as
     domains can be prevented by trademark owners wishing to
     own their generic trademarks in gross. I cannot and
     will not agree to any such decision, which is
     fundamentally wrong. I respectfully dissent from the
     majority decision of my fellow professional panelists.


CPT Comment:

1.   The UDRP should not have given J. Crew the rights to
     crew.com.  Crew is a generic word.  J. Crew had registered
     jcrew.com, a domain name that was clearly different from
     crew.com.  It is anticompetitive for the UDRP to take away
     domains based upon generic words to a company that has a
     different name.
