The Fortrend Group LlC which owns the domain name ThePrive.com is seeking to upgrade its domain name by filing a UDRP on the generic domain Prive.com
Prive is a french word that mean private in English.
Armani has a line of clothing name Prive
There is a hair salon in Miami name Prive
There is a sexy nightclub in South Beach name Prive.
According to their website, like Armani, Fortrend is in the clothing business. Here is how the company describes itself from their site:
“Fortrend Group LLC was formed in 2005 and immediately established itself as the premier short term event sale ["sample sale"] company throughout North America. Through their wholly-owned subsidiaries, The Art of Shopping and PRIVE Designer Sales, Fortrend Group has become one of the most recognized and sought after companies that designer brands and fashion houses turn to when they need to move excess inventory. Fashion and brand conscious consumers await our upcoming events to shop the most sought after brands at discount prices.”
“Fortrend Group has experienced tremendous growth and has moved into new categories beyond women’s and men’s apparel, and now holds events with action sports apparel and equipment, children’s products, handbags, shoes, belts, leather goods, tabletop, and home goods.”
“In February 2008, Fortrend Group received its best recognition when Forbes Magazine listed The Art of Shopping as one of the top 10 shopping destinations worldwide.”
In addition to owning ThePrive.com, the company also ownsTheArtofShopping.com
The domain name Prive.com has an orginal registration date of 1996.
The domain was owned by an M. Stenzel of Kahului, Hawaii and parked at Dotzup.com until 2010 when it went under privacy at Godaddy and appears to have been a site selling clothing.
In May of this year privacy came off and the owner appears to be Rami Atallah of Canada.
The domain name Prive.com does not currently resolve.
The domain name ThePrive.com has an original registration date of 1999 and appears to have been acquired by Fortrend sometime in 2009.
The domain ThePrive.com is listed on Sedo.com for sale.
If I was YummyNames.com I would be very concerned about its domain ArtofShopping.com which they own and goes to a parked page with a link for “fashion shopping”
