Research In Motion (RIM) are best known as the makers of the Blackberry. In the run up to Christmas last year there was quite a bit of interest shown in two things:
- The Blackberry Storm
- The Blackberry Application Store
Both developments were seen as RIM’s attempt to regain market share against Apple and its iPhone and App store.
So it’s hardly surprising to see that people would have tried to capitalise on the news via domains, namely:
bestblackberryapplications.com
bestblackberryapps.com
bestblackberrystormapps.com
blackberryapplicationstore.com
blackberryappsstore.com
blackberrystormapplications.com
blackberrystormapplicationstore.com
newblackberryapps.com
newblackberrystormapps.com
All of the above domains were subject to a WIPO UDRP ruling (D2008-1932) in RIM’s favour.
The case isn’t that interesting, as the other party did not attempt to defend their position.

RIM is very aggressive when it comes to protecting their IP… No joke!
There is a company who gets it who wants to keep their brand clean… Kudos.
BlackberryHelp.com was up for grabs over at SnapNames few weeks ago — I’m betting it will get UDRP’d within a few month’s time 🙂
Best,
