BJP.COM acquired by Bhartiya Janta Party of India by filing a UDRP dispute for this domain. BJP is a known political party of India and have the second majority of seats in the Indian parliament. Though this is also true that BJP is not a trademark!
BJP.COM is a 14 year old domain registered in 1997. The political party in question had registered BJP.ORG in 1995. Both the complainant and respondent are from India.
Here i am discussing the two main points which led this domain to go to the complainant with little or no efort at all.
The first point is that the respondent claimed that he/she had hand registered this particular domain in 1997 for a business purpose but after searching the archives on some of the whois services i have found that this domain had changes hands atleast three times. Now this is the main point which i think the UDRP people must have taken into consideration.
The second pint is that respondent has redirected this domain to the website of the opposition of the political party in question and after this it had become crystal clear that the respondent had registered this domain in bad faith and hence lose the case.
