As Aston Martin wins lawsuit for AstonMartin.ai, strong response falls flat.
Aston Martin wins domain name grab claim against AstonMartin.ai registrant. Contributed image by Aston Martin.
Registering AstonMartin.ai and listing it for sale would certainly qualify if a clear case of domain name squatting existed.
But that didn't stop the person who registered the domain name from mounting an aggressive defence when Aston Martin filed a lawsuit against him.
Firstly, the registrant argued that the carmaker had no trademark in Anguilla, the country where .ai is located.
The registrant also argued that Aston Martin should attempt to resolve the case without filing a domain name squatting dispute:
...... Complainant has blatantly avoided any attempt at an amicable resolution, caught Respondent off guard with baseless claims, and maliciously attempted to seize control of a domain name to which it has no legal rights under this Policy. This Machiavellian ploy clearly demonstrates the Complainant's nefarious intent to harass and intimidate the Respondent through improper means.
Respondent makes a number of "strong" claims, including:
-Complainant's assertion that it is confusing or misleading consumers is completely unfounded and without any basis in fact
-The Disputed Domain Name was not registered with the intention of disrupting the Complainant's business operations. Such allegations are tantamount to maligning the character of the Respondent and are therefore categorically refuted.
Well, I'll give their lawyers an A for violent language.
Unsurprisingly, the panelist ruled in favour of Aston Martin and ordered the transfer of the domain name.
