Blackberry WIPO Case

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:

1. The Blackberry Storm
2. 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.
