Beats Electronics, Inc. best know for the Dr. Dre Beats Headphone products known as Beats By Dre just filed a UDRP on the domain name Beats.com
The company official website is beatsbydre.com
The domain name, Beats.co is owned by Innovation HQ, Inc. and goes to a parked page with music related links but noting directly related to headphones of Dr. Dre’s products.
Interestingly the domain name Beats.com also goes to a parked page, but interestingly Dr. Dre’s Beats Electronics filed the UDRP against the short Beats.co rather than Beats.co
However complainant have a excellent track records going after .co’s winning over 99% of the time, I think the complainant in this case is clearly overreaching and hopefully will wind up with our first Reverse Domain Name Hijacking finding for a .co.
We will keep you updated on this domain…
