The user selected the domain for "renewal of registration with malicious intent"

Recently, WIPO decided to transfer the domain of Big5.com to another person for a rather unusual reason: the renewal of the registration of the domain name with malicious intent.

15 years ago, in 1998, Roy Fang registered the domain name Big5.com, which was dedicated to the Big5 system - a popular encoding in Taiwan to display traditional Chinese writing. Roy Fang was also the legal owner of the Big5 trademark, which was registered in Taiwan.

But many years later, the domain owner began to use his site for completely different purposes: for selling sports goods via the Internet. Roy Fang attracted visitors by the similarity of the domain name with the name of Big 5 Sporting Goods - a major American retail chain selling sportswear and equipment.

The American company filed a complaint under the UDRP procedure, and it was satisfied. The reason for this decision was that the domain’s registration was last extended in January 2012. At that time, Roy Fang was already selling sports goods under the guise of another brand.

Many do not know that there is a clause in the UDRP rules that allows a WIPO commission to transfer a domain to another person if its registration was prolonged with malicious intent - even if it was registered it was absolutely legal.
