- Written by Carolyn Strutton, JD
Facts
Telstra Corporation Ltd. (plaintiff) was a large, well-known Australian company that held multiple trademarks for the mark “Telstra” and had registered multiple domain names incorporating the mark. Nuclear Marshmallows (defendant) was an unregistered and unidentifiable business entity that had registered the domain name “telstra.org” and had provided false contact information during the registration process. Telstra brought a complaint against Nuclear Marshmallows for the registration of that domain name before the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) for an administrative proceeding under the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers.
