HE WHO PAYS THE PIPER CALLS THE ITUNES?

-

The Register reports that Benjamin Cohen is to seek judicial review of the decision of Nominet (the .co.uk registrar) to order him to hand over his company CybergroupBritain's itunes.co.uk domain name to Apple. Cohen registered "itunes.co.uk" on 7 November 2000, some three years before Apple registered the name "itunes.com" through which it sells online access to music. Cohen denies he was cybersquatting and insists that his use of the itunes.co.uk site was legitimate.

The IPKat says that the judicial review should be welcomed. Either it will give Nominet a clean bill of health, in which case confidence in its dispute resolution procedures will be boosted, or it will pinpoint deficiencies that must be firmly addressed. Merpel wonders if, commercially, the battle is really worth Apple fighting. How many people looking to load up an iPod would stray as far as itunes.co.uk?

All comments must be moderated by a member of the IPKat team before they appear on the blog. Comments will not be allowed if the contravene the IPKat policy that readers' comments should not be obscene or defamatory; they should not consist of ad hominem attacks on members of the blog team or other comment-posters and they should make a constructive contribution to the discussion of the post on which they purport to comment.

It is also the IPKat policy that comments should not be made completely anonymously, and users should use a consistent name or pseudonym (which should not itself be defamatory or obscene, or that of another real person), either in the "identity" field, or at the beginning of the comment. Current practice is to, however, allow a limited number of comments that contravene this policy, provided that the comment has a high degree of relevance and the comment chain does not become too difficult to follow.
