ICANN Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy
...
b. Evidence of Registration and Use in Bad Faith. For the purposes of Paragraph 4(a)(iii), the following circumstances, in particular but without limitation, if found by the Panel to be present, shall be evidence of the registration and use of a domain name in bad faith:
(i) circumstances indicating that you have registered or you have acquired the domain name primarily for the purpose of selling, renting, or otherwise transferring the domain name registration to the complainant who is the owner of the trademark or service mark or to a competitor of that complainant, for valuable consideration in excess of your documented out-of-pocket costs directly related to the domain name; or
(ii) you have registered the domain name in order to prevent the owner of the trademark or service mark from reflecting the mark in a corresponding domain name, provided that you have engaged in a pattern of such conduct; or
(iii) you have registered the domain name primarily for the purpose of disrupting the business of a competitor; or
(iv) by using the domain name, you have intentionally attempted to attract, for commercial gain, Internet users to your web site or other on-line location, by creating a likelihood of confusion with the complainant's mark as to the source, sponsorship, affiliation, or endorsement of your web site or location or of a product or service on your web site or location.

- xigency 10y agoMaybe they concluded that this is fair to use and that's why they didn't have any argument beyond posting the ICANN rules for us.
- oliwarner 10y agoYou skipped part a which includes: > (i) your domain name is identical or confusingly similar to a trademark or service mark in which the complainant has rights Guthub can take this down fast. And if you believe everybody with a trademark lawyer, they might have to in order to preserve their trademark.
