Scene LLC, dba Ookla represented by Jeff Nelson of Miller Nash Graham & Dunn LLP, of  Washington, USA loses UDRP case in its attempt to unfairly grab 15 year old SpeedTest.org domain name.

NAF Panelists found Scene LLC, dba Ookla guilty of Reverse Domain Name Hijacking.

 
 


Unanimously all of the three panelists agreed that the SpeedTest.org domain name had neither been registered in bad faith nor was the SpeedTest.org domain name being used in bad faith.

  
 
The NAF Panelists stated : "Accordingly, the Panel finds here that Respondent’s registration of the disputed domain name cannot be in bad faith, considering the fact that Respondent registered the disputed domain name six years before Complainant first used the SPEEDTEST mark, and four years before Complainant even existed as a going concern."
