SAP Evicts Cybersquatter

Published: 15 July 2001 y., Sunday
The World Intellectual Property Rights Organization has ordered India-based cybersquatter D. P.Singh Bhatia to transfer the domain names Sapmaster.com and Sapwizard.com to the German multinational e-business concern, SAP AG. Invoking its trade dispute resolution power, the World Intellectual Property Rights Organization (WIPO) has ordered India-based cybersquatter Devinder Pal Singh Bhatia to transfer the domain names Sapmaster.com and Sapwizard.com to the German multinational e-business concern, SAP AG. WIPO, which mediates in intellectual property disputes, decided in favor of SAP and its Indian subsidiary SAP India Systems, which jointly filed the complaint. According to SAP India officials, the domain names Sapmaster.com and Sapwizard.com were identical or confusingly similar to the trademarks of SAP. WIPO said Bhatia has no rights or legitimate interest in the names. According to WIPO officials, a panel found that the domain names were registered and were being used in bad faith.
