One in a millionYou know the situation: companies A and B
announce that they are going to merge on day X. Someone eventually gets around
to trying to register the domain name (or not) and someone has serendipitously
already registered it. (Usually on day X + 1 or 2 hours, but depending on how
leaky the insider trading laws are, sometimes day X - 1, 2 or even
...)
Well, it happened to Citigroup in the UK
and even though Park J described the
One in a Million
case as controversial, his Lordship
granted Citigroup summary judgment against an IT security company that
registered citigroup.co.uk shortly after the merger was
announced.
IPKat reports and wonders why an IT security company wanted to register the domain name, here. Of course, DownUnder CSR had to deal with a concerned shareholder, branding and security consultant and the late Hill J had little trouble here. Posted: Tuesday - 25 October, 2005 at 07:10 PM | |
